25 - Lightly come or lightly go: - Though thy heart presage thee woe,

Lightly come or lightly go:
Though thy heart presage thee woe,
Vales and many a wasted sun,
Oread let thy laughter run,
Till the irreverent mountain air
Ripple all thy flying hair.

Lightly, lightly -- - ever so:
Clouds that wrap the vales below
At the hour of evenstar
Lowliest attendants are;
Love and laughter song-confessed
When the heart is heaviest.

Read next: 26 - Thou leanest to the shell of night, - Dear lady, a divining ear.

Read previous: 24 - Silently she's combing, - Combing her long hair
