So We'll Go No More a Roving (1955)

Words Lord Byron 
Music Richard Dyer-Bennet
O: Richard Dyer-Bennet  on Dyer-Bennet Records


 So We'll Go No More a Roving

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

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.

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

There are some connections with songs like "The Jolly Beggar"and "The Maid of Amsterdam,". But that are only a few words and the tunes are totally different.
