Elena’s Song

Sir Henry Taylor (1800–1886)

QUOTH tongue of neither maid nor wife

To heart of neither wife nor maid—

Lead we not here a jolly life

Betwixt the shine and shade?

Quoth heart of neither maid nor wife

To tongue of neither wife nor maid—

Thou wagg’st, but I am worn with strife,

And feel like flowers that fade.
