| A FAREWELL You shut out the world, and all its wintery weather That evening in late December, where we played chess together Checkmated in each others eyes. A memory I shall hold within me, Forever! Still the old impassioned ways and habits of my mind remain And still happy light displays thine image chambered in my brain. I watch you come and go in the meadows and forests As I look to Tinfoil and Wabbit in my time of great pain. A little while was given me to have thy love. Now, like a ghost, alone, I move about a ruined Heaven In immense sorrow and tearful sadness With long years to weep in, and Eternity to grieve in. When that dark grim foe from the depths of life below, Came between to make us part. The Iron Hand that breaks our bond, broke my bliss and broke my heart. Even my soul forsakes me now, for every feeling brings even more sorrow. Harsh the weight I bear this summer, for now we leave the after comers To attain the dreams we did not win. All things looked so bright about thee, that they seem nothing without thee. By this pure and lucid mind, all these earthly things seem to refined! I think the birds will mess me and give the summer up. For bitter nights and more bitter marrows are all I have to spend. In secret we met, and in silence I shall grieve That thy heart could forget and thy spirit decieve. But, Tis done! All words are idle for thoughts we cannot bridle. Words from me are vainer still, and force their way without my will. Fare thee well! As we become disunited, seared in heart, lone and blighted. Torn from every nearer tie, more than this, I scarce can die. A long road full of pain for one soul, one heart, sworn never to part. Hard fate will not allow for us to meet again. We blessed were as the angels are. To my Mandra and his family, I bid you Adieu, FOREVER now. |
