Adieu, my love, adieu
Till we meet again some night
On the quiet avenue
Beneathe the pale moonlight

The day looms long, so cruelly bright,
Adieu, my love, adieu;
Until we meet by soft moonlight,
My every thought and breath are you.

Adieu, my love, adieu
To the blush upon your cheek
To your lips of crimson hue
That all the lovers seek

Your eyes so bold that love made meek,
Adieu, my love, adieu.
Sweet love I cannot help but seek,
Two hearts in one, made one in two.

O night, do not turn your feet
But adieu, my love, adieu
I walk a weary down the street
Thru the moonlit avenue

Adieu, my love, adieu:
Kiss me again, and we will "goodbye" cheat-
Inspire in me such dreams of you
That make waiting's wantings sweet
