Sun comes, moon comes, 
   Time slips away. 
Sun sets, moon sets, 
   Love, fix a day. 

'A year hence, a year hence.' 
   'We shall both be gray.' 
'A month hence, a month hence.' 
   'Far, far away.' 

'A week hence, a week hence.' 
   'Ah, the long delay.' 
'Wait a little, wait a little, 
   You shall fix a day.' 

'To-morrow, love, to-morrow, 
   And that's an age away.' 
Blaze upon her window, sun, 
   And honour all the day.
