Sing that song the young English noble made,

Who took you for the purest of the pure,

And meant to leave the world for you—what fun!

2d. Girl. [Sings.]

You'll love me yet!—and I can tarry

Your love's protracted growing:

June reared that bunch of flowers you carry,

From seeds of April's sowing.

I plant a heartfull now: some seed

At least is sure to strike,
