Sweet Evenings Come and Go, Love


La noche buena se viene,
La noche buena se va,
Y nosotros nos iremos
Y no volveremos mas."

~~ Old Villancico

SWEET evenings come and go, love, They came and went of yore: This evening of our life, love, Shall go and come no more.
When we have passed away, love, All things will keep their name; But yet no life on earth, love, With ours will be the same.
The daisies will be there, love, The stars in heaven will shine: I shall not feel thy wish, love, Nor thou my hand in thine.
A better time will come, love, and better souls be born: I would not be the best, love, To leave thee now forlorn.
