The Flowers of Love

If you should leave me now and go away
the world will not come to an end
the gift of life is given to us but once
I will not pine and sigh
go, be unfaithful if you will

I shall seek consolation with someone else
in the spring-scented garden of life
I too shall pick the flowers of love.

I too shall pick the flowers of love.
