Lament

I walk the shore in the wind and the rain. Oh God I am in such pain I am distraught you're out of reach. That damned worm has taken you from me despite my love, despite my care the silent killer won, you slipped away. Are you now in peace my dearest love? We had such a short time together. Hardly knew each other We never thought our time would be cut so short They said 'close your eyes, open your heart and listen to the ancient rhythms. there you will find peace.' What solace is there in superstition? It is all in vain She's in her cold cold grave. Has she gone from me forever? I will lie upon her grave on Walpurgis night and conjure up her spirit. And then I can say all the things I should have said when we were together. Then perhaps I will find peace.
