If You Leave at Daybreak

If you leave at daybreak,
Silently, lightly, love,
Do not alarm the nightingale.

If you part at dawning
From these arms that hold you dear,
That you not be seen in the arms
Of an enviable affair,
Go on woolen tiptoe,
Silently, lightly, love,
Do not alarm the nightingale.

-Lope de Vega
