SO WE'LL GO NO MORE A ROVING 

1     So we'll go no more a roving 
2         So late into the night,
3     Though the heart be still as loving,
4         And the moon be still as bright.

5     For the sword outwears its sheath,
6         And the soul wears out the breast,
7     And the heart must pause to breathe,
8         And Love itself have rest.

9     Though the night was made for loving,
10       And the day returns too soon,
11   Yet we'll go no more a roving
12       By the light of the moon.
