The morning's dew moistens my eyes - No, these are not tears that you see! (Cleverly we learn to mask our pain When Love's not what it pretends to be) A lonely wanderer, I strayed Into a hopeless reverie; So completely mesmerized was I By Love's sweet and haunting melody Throwing all caution to the wind, I rushed where Angels fear to tread, Ready to worship at Love's altar - What despair to find Deceit instead! Yet, my heart cannot forget how Deceit, in its cunning disguise Took me in its arms and carried me Through those golden gates of paradise Now the moon says this day must end - Put aside those sad memories; Tell me, how do I dispel these thoughts That invade my heart like refugees? A cold wind blew across my heart, Then I heard an angelic choir Prompting me to cast that tear-stained page From the Book of Love into the fire
