Now it's over, and now it's done
Why does everything look the same?
Just as bright, the unheeding sun
Can't it see that the parting came?
People hurry and work and swear
Laugh and grumble and die and wed
Ponder what they will eat and wear
Don't they know that our love is dead?

Just as busy, the crowded street
Cars and wagons go rolling on
Children chuckle, and lovers meet
Don't they know that our love is gone?
No one pauses to pay a tear
None walks slow, for the love that's through
I might mention, my recent dear
I've reverted to normal, too
