NIGHTINGALE'S SERENADE, by                    
First Line: A song in my heart pipes ever and ever
Last Line: My own! My own!
Subject(s): Birds; Love; Love - Loss Of; Nightingales; Solitude; Loneliness


A song in my heart pipes ever and ever
So sweet! So sweet!
But a song that my voice may never, ah! never
Repeat! repeat!
Oh, the love of my love is in every beat
Of the song that my voice may never repeat,
My sweet! My sweet!

Over your bower I sing tonight,
My own! My own!
But the song is a wraith of our old delight,
For lone, alone!
I flutter and sigh in the starry zone,
I flutter and sing alone, alone,
My own! My own!
