Handsome Wisp and His Willow (Virelai Nouveau)

Hello--My good son Wisp; Hello~   
You are such a handsome fellow  

And your manner is quite mellow 
Watching Willow dressed in yellow: 
As the musician plays the cello, 
To its tunes, you both gently sway -- 
And crooners began to bellow 

Hello--My good son Wisp~ Hello 
You are such a lucky fellow 
Smoothly prancing with her that way
Swing and sway with your young Willow 
As emerald dreams your pillow, sprays  
Genteel laughter teases your marrow
Promises made for the next day,
When true love shall have its own way

You are such a handsome fellow
Lift away sweet Willows sorrows…
