A sweet beautiful song I never want to dance or sing upon again

[media=https://youtu.be/cRAFi4esNH8]
I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well my nightingale
'Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you
The sun goes down behind a veil
'Tis now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare thee well my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you

The lyrics speak of a lost love. It is important to know when to move on. The music of the nightingale? You may still hear its refrain distantly. Your feet cannot go forwards and back at the same time. Time goes on and on.

@SW-User I know, I know. 🤭 I think the song, the words stand alone, but when you know the author it even stands out more.
