First Line: The spring is solemn, mournful only
Last Line: To kiss a tear from off thy face.
Subject(s): Grief; Spring; Sorrow; Sadness
THE spring is solemn, mournful only
Are all its dreams, each flower appears
Weigh'd down by grief, the song all-lonely
Of Philomel wakes secret tears.
O smile thou not, my darling beauty,
O smile not, full of charming grace!
But weep, that it may be my duty
To kiss a tear from off thy face.
