In love if we must grieve and sigh,
A moment's bliss still well repays
The ills and woes of many days.
A Zephyr (alone).
'Midst hopes and fears,
And mystery and tears,
We cannot, without the touch of pain,
Bliss seek again.
Both (together).
In love if we must grieve and sigh,
A moment's bliss still well repays
The ills and woes of many days.
A Cupid (alone).
What better deed is there to do
Than strive to please and softly woo?
A lover's part is sweetest care,
And this it is that all must bear.
Both (together).
In love if we must grieve and sigh,
A moment's bliss still well repays
The ills and woes of many days.
