Farewell To Suzie

Oh, why are you so radiant, merciful sun,
And why are the birds so gay?
Do you know our romantic rounds are done,
And I now must go away?

If you sheltered behind a cloud I would dream
You were aware of my pain,
And all birds singing a sad melody would seem
To be cheering my final train.

And why are you so sad dearest sweetheart,
Why are your cute eyes overcast?
Are they so gloomy because you know we must part,
Do you think this kiss is our last?

Then kiss me again and swallow that lump of fear,
And whisper your goodbye!
Your bespectacled face is too sweet for the stain of a tear
And  your smile is the sun in my sky…
