That neither the lily nor the rose

Seemed any longer fair nor good.

"All hail, thou rose and lily-bough!

What dost thou weeping here,

For the days of May are sweet enow,

And the nights of May are dear?"

"Well may I weep and make my moan.

Who am bond and captive here;

Well may I weep who lie alone,

Though May be waxen dear."
