Till Eternity Is Old

Silent feelings, unheard words Deepest secrets, vision blurred Lonely days and lonely nights Forever longing, eyes closed tight No restful slumber only fitful sleep The sunshine fades into shadow deep Dreams once mine of a beauty rare Will come no more, only dark despair That fragrant rose whose sweet perfume Entranced my eyes, now gone too soon “Compare thee to a Summer Rose” No more I see you lest my eyes are closed How cruel this life when the light shines dim It slowly fades from your eyes, within My passionate beauty, my life, my soul I'll search for you till eternity is old.
