¶Lyrics / Text

The violets I send to you Will close their blue eyes on your breast; I shall not be there, sweet, to see, Yet do I know my flowers will rest, Within that chaste, white nest. O little flowers, she'll welcome you So tenderly so warmly! Go. I know where you will die tonight. But you can never, never know The bliss of dying so. If you could speak! Yet she will know What made your faces wet, Although I fain would follow you, and tell. There, go and die, yet never know To what a heav'n you go.
