To Say Adieu, Is So Dire a Crime

To say Adieu, is so dire a crime, I said only once, That same time Her heart shred tears of pride by the seaside. I kissed her lips, so sweet and pale, I kissed only once, Like in a faery tale A chaste fire warmed her face With holy grace. I cannot leave, beside her side, I loved only once, To this very day The same girl that cried to see her life with me.
