So sad her eyessmiling dark eyes
So sad her eyesas it began
On such a breathless night as thisupon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone...
And all around the air did swaymy lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow knownthe white queen walks
And the night grows palestars of lovingness in her hair
Heedingunheardpleading one word
So sadmy eyesshe cannot see
How did thee fare what have thee seen
The mother of the willow greenI call her name
And neath her window have I stayedI loved the footsteps that she made
And when she camewhite queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would makeso still I wait
My goddess hear my darkest fearI speak too late
It s for evermore that I wait
Dear friend goodbyeno tears in my eyes
So sadit ends as it began
