## The words

Hapless doom of woman happy in betrothing,  
Beauty passes like a breath and love is lost  
in loathing:  
Low! my lute:  
Speak low, speak low, my lute, but say the world  
is nothing.  
Low! lute, low!  
Love will hover round the flowers when they  
first awaken;  
Love will fly the falllen leaf, and not be  
overtaken;  
Low, my lute!  
O low, O low my lute! we fade and are forsaken,  
and are forsaken, we fade and are forsaken.  
Low, dear lute, low!
