Adieu! My Love

Through the clamour of distressful days I live alone in soulful memory of my Love In vain, I keep my door ajar For her light footsteps, once more to fall On my lonely bed, I turn around For her warmth, I shall never here enjoy Through the dingy corridors, I stray alone After elusive shadows, I wander forlorn. I know she is in some far Paradise Her eyes feasting on the glory of each new dawn With fadeless flowers blossoming all around And endless mysteries in all marvel enshrined Though an emptiness, often engulfs me I am reminded of the constancy of her love That she often avowed between tender sighs As I lay silent on her cleaving breast I know, I am now a weary traveller Slouching unsteady towards my journey's end With stoic endurance, I shall bear My hefty baggage on these weak shoulders I, now await the fading of the night For yet another new dawn to break To begin life all over anew To be united evermore with my dainty Love Till then… till we are one Adieu! Adieu my little Love! !
