Fate Once Birthed Lovers, Golden True and Dear

Fate Once Birthed Lovers, Golden True And Dear

We had raced a good race, with wind cool and fair,
There were romantic nights steaming hot for a while,
And golden rays of sunshine danced in your blonde hair,
You my beautiful angel with your graceful style!

Lo! Fate once birthed lovers, golden true and dear.
Alas! Fate's knot was cut, erased all joyous cheer.

Was as if an invisible clock rang out its tone,
Its sad chimes echoing through our sweet paradise,
Dawn burst, I rose and found myself all alone,
Knowing never could another lover suffice!

Lo! Fate once birthed lovers, golden true and dear.
Alas! Fate's knot was cut, erased all joyous cheer

Months flew by, your vanishing left merciless marks,
Summer came and went, winter brought even deeper chill,
What was once our world, turned bitter, darker darks,
Never again would I find such beauty's sweetest thrill!

Lo! Fate once birthed lovers, golden true and dear.
Alas! Fate's knot was cut, erased all joyous cheer.

The Lo ! and Alas ! lines somehow lend great rhythm to the whole poem, they almost strike me as strangely bright, even though the words are filled with regret. A lyrical work of great contrast, very magnetic, great poem.
