SONG by ELEANOR ALEXANDER

First Line: HE CLIMBS HIS LADY'S TOWER, WHERE SAIL
Last Line: SINGS--SIR, TOO LATE, TOO LATE!
Subject(s): LOVE;

He climbs his lady's tower, where sail
Cold clouds about the moon,
And at his feet the nightingale
Sings--Sir, too soon, too soon !

He steals across his lady's park,
He tries her secret gate,
And overhead the saucy lark
Sings--Sir, too late, too late!
