Speak Low

Speak low when you speak, love,
Advises to speak quietly when expressing love, emphasizing a sense of intimacy.
Our summer day withers away

Too soon, too soon.
Expresses the feeling that pleasant moments pass quickly, leaving a sense of regret.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterates the importance of speaking softly in the context of love's transience.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Compares the brevity of the moment to ships drifting apart, underscoring the swiftness of separation.
We're swept apart too soon.
Conveys the abruptness of being swept away from each other prematurely.
Speak low, darling speak low,

I feel wherever I go

That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here

And always too soon.

Time is so old and love so brief,
Reflects on the relative brevity of love compared to the perceived age of time.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Contrasts the purity of love with the thieving nature of time, hinting at its ability to steal precious moments.
We're late darling, we're late,

The curtain descends, ev'rything ends

I wait darling, I wait

Will you speak low to me,
