The white May-blossoms fall like snow,
As Love foretold a month ago–
Or was it only yesterday?
All pleasant things must pass away;
You would not, surely, have me stay?
I own I shun the inference! No!
Adieu, Madame!
Come, dry your eyes, for not this way
Should end your pretty pastoral play.
You have no heart–you told me so–
And I adore you, as you know;
Smile, while I break my heart and say
Adieu, Madame!
