Whispering brooklet running nigh, Do tell why love must die, Brooklet onward toward yon sea, Speak to me! speak to me! Do tell why love must die, Tiny brooklet flowing by. For aye! Oh, tell why! Brooklet gently gurgling by Must love die e’en for aye, Tell why shouldst love die; Oh, why must love die, Tell why! For aye! For aye! The above was set to the music “The Brook” by Theodore Lack. |
