Sweet Endings Come and Go, Love

"La noche buena se viene,
La noche buena se va,
Y nosotros nos iremos
Y no volveremos mas."
               -- Old Villancico.

    Sweet evenings come and go, love,
      They came and went of yore:
    This evening of our life, love,
      Shall go and come no more.

    When we have passed away, love,
      All things will keep their name;
    But yet no life on earth, love,
      With ours will be the same.

    The daisies will be there, love,
      The stars in heaven will shine:
  I shall not feel thy wish, love,
      Nor thou my hand in thine.

  A better time will come, love,
      And better souls be born:
  I would not be the best, love,
      To leave thee now forlorn.
