Here they trysted here they strayed | B |
In the leafage dewy and boon | C |
Many a man and many a maid | B |
And the morn was merry June | C |
'Death is fleet Life is sweet ' | - |
Sang the blackbird in the may | D |
And the hour with flying feet | E |
While they dreamed was yesterday | D |
- | |
Many a maid and many a man | F |
Found the leafage close and boon | C |
Many a destiny began | F |
O the morn was merry June | C |
Dead and gone dead and gone | G |
Hark the blackbird in the may | D |
Life and Death went hurrying on | H |
Cheek on cheek and where were they | D |
- | |
Dust in dust engendering dust | I |
In the leafage fresh and boon | C |
Man and maid fulfil their trust | I |
Still the morn turns merry June | C |
Mother Life Father Death | J |
O the blackbird in the may | D |
Each the other's breath for breath | J |
Fleet the times of the world away | D |
