I Cannot Remain
Lost within a tangled wood
Where darkness does not sleep
Nor is the night eclipsed
No sun to gently steep
Dare I not to rest now
For the night is fierce
I hold each shining glimpse
Through limbs, the sun pierce
Although a ray brings its hope
I cannot here delay
Though shivering in the darkness
Still, I cannot stay
For here, upon the wind's back
I catch a sweet refrain
Called back to my home
Until then, I cannot remain
