Lyrics
Why the charming of heart
must too soon depart.
In the thud of the dart
sounding we must now part.
Oh what a harvest you did reap
Painstakingly laid to sleep.
The multitude you did woo
now seen with a bird's-eye view.
From the flock that with ease you drew,
Host a familiar candor the masses well knew.
Oh, fresh in the memory
remains the splendor of you.
