Lyrics

We part for ever from today
Farewell beloved one
And i, unto may death, your way
Will shun

I care not now where you may go
You can no more bereave me
Today the sweetest girl I know
Does leave me

Chorus:

And the air still moves my curtain
As it used in times of yore..
Moonlight down the lane uncertain
Only you come nevermore

Nor shall I as in former hours
Build spanish castles high
With star-lit windows, and with towers of sky
When, shivering with bitter cold
Through winter nights uncertain
I watched lest you perhaps unfold
Your curtain

O what delight to stroll with you
Beneath that flowering trees
When poured its light their branches through
The moon

[Repeat chorus]

That I might catch with rapturous thrill
The words that you let fall
And that today I barely still
Recall

How often did I secretly pray
Swift night her sails would furl
That we might thus forever stray
Fair girl

[Repeat chorus]
