Three Songs

Song Cycle by Frederick Jacobi (1891 - 1952)

?. The look [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English

Strephon kissed me in the spring,
  Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
  And never kissed at all.

Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,
  Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
  Haunts me night and day.
