THE day's enamour'd of the night,
The springtime loves the winter,
And life's in love with death, --
And thou, thou lovest me!
Thou lov'st me -- thou'rt already seized
By fear-inspiring shadows,
And all thy blossoms fade,
To death thy soul is bleeding.
Away from me, and only love
The butterflies, gay triflers,
Who in the sunlight sport --
Away from me and sorrow!
