The Ending Of Our Yesterday

And when the moon enrapts the streams

 And trembles on the fen

 A thousand years have flown it seems

 Since then

 For if today I part the veil

 And see what time portended

 I feel that long ago the tale

 Was ended

 

 Little I knew in youth's enchantment

 That it is alike absurd

 Or to lean against a shadow

 Or believe a woman's word

 For if today I part the veil

 And see what time portended

 I feel that long ago the tale

 Was ended

 

 Though she once betrayed

 Though empty words spoken

 I wished she'd have stayed

 Remain with a heart that's broken

 

 For I no longer am confined In that sweet country's spell

 I have left you far behind

 Farewell

 

 Fair autumn still its breeze delays

 Upon the springs that wail and sigh

 And through the leaves the whisper strays

 Of my sad dreams that now must die
