The
May Queen痴 Farewell.
Today
will be our dancing day:
I値l
bid goodbye to sorrow.
Twine
the ribbons in my hair,
And
should I weep tomorrow-
At
least I know this day is ours
And
we shall tread the measure;
Today
will be my dancing day
A
cup of joy to treasure.
I値l
bid goodbye to sorrow
As
I bathe my face in dew;
Despite
the sparkling tears of dawn
My
maiden hours are few.
At
least I know this day is ours
And
we値l go hand in hand-
Today
will be our dancing day
My
lord does understand.
Twine
the ribbons in my hair
I値l
bid goodbye to sorrow;
Today
will be our dancing day
And
I shall weep tomorrow.
At
least I know this day is ours
So
kiss your hand to me-
Today
will be my dancing day
By
all his charity.
And
should I weep tomorrow
First
I have today-
So
take my hand and dance with me
And
crown me with the may;
At
least I know this day is ours
And
though we may not tarry
Today
will be our dancing day-
And
then, my lord, I値l marry.
