First Line: Heigho! How chill the evenings get!
Last Line: But we, -- we are not always gay!
Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin


HEIGHO! how chill the evenings get!
Good-night, NINON! -- good-night, NINETTE!
Your little Play is played and finished; --
Go back, then, to your Cabinet!

LOYAL, L'ETOILE! no more to-day!
Alas! they heed not what we say:
They smile with ardour undiminished;
But we, -- we are not always gay!
