RONDEAU.
In life, no more!—the leaves fell fast,And all the heaven was overcast; We looked into each other's eyes— We kissed one kiss between our sighs—It was the first kiss and the last.
In vain we wait with souls aghast—No more across the silence vast Come protests faint, come faint replies— In life, no more!
No more in dalliance or in haste,In April airs, or autumn blast, We meet—and every heartache flies; We kiss—and all division dies;No more—the moment came, and passed— In life, no more!
