Lyrics of Love and Laughter Dance, lady, dance to the brink of our parting, My heart and your step must not fail to be light. Dance! Just a turn - tho' the tear-drop be starting. Ah - now it is done - so - my lady, goodnight! RESPONSE. WHEN Phyllis sighs and from her eyes The light dies out; my soul replies With misery of deep-drawn breath, E'en as it were at war with death. When Phyllis smiles, her glance beguiles My heart through love-lit woodland aisles, And through the silence high and clear, A wooing warbler's song I hear. But if she frown, despair comes down, I put me on my sack-cloth gown; So frown not, Phyllis, lest I die, But look on me with smile or sigh. 37
