My Muse She Died Today

Her ashen face upon the pillow lay As then the light upon her hair did play With sadness borne, my Muse, she died today Her words did flicker with the dying light O sorrow, sorrow, now shall be my plight To ever seek her in the blackest night No more to hear her whisper words of love Nor inspiration sent from heav`n above My empty mind and heart no more to move O Muse, my Muse, in darkness now I `bide My soul consumed forever by the tide And how I long with thee to e`er reside Where now to find the magic I once knew When to my heart and soul she was so true O gone forever her encircling hue O Muse, my Muse, I beg for your return That in my thoughts you yet again shall burn O Muse, my Muse, for you I`ll ever yearn
