First Line: When the nightingale to his mate
Last Line: "flies."
Variant Title(s): Alba
When the nightingale to his mate
Sings day-long and night late
My love and I keep state
In bower,
In flower,
'Till the watchman on the tower
Cry:
"Up! Thou rascal, Rise,
I see the white
Light
And the night
Flies."
