Days Come And Go

Topics: classic

Leaves fall and flowers fade,     Days come and go:     Now is sweet Summer laid     Low in her leafy glade,     Low like a fragrant maid,     Low, low, ah, low.     Tears fall and eyelids ache,     Hearts overflow:     Here for our dead love's sake     Let us our farewells make     Will he again awake?     Ah, no, no, no.     Winds sigh and skies are gray,     Days come and go:     Wild birds are flown away:     Where are the blooms of May?     Dead, dead, this many a day,     Under the snow.     Lips sigh and cheeks are pale,     Hearts overflow:     Will not some song or tale,     Kiss, or a flower frail,     With our dead love avail?     Ah, no, no, no.
