Forgiveness

Forgive me, now that love is gone
And that long years obscure the sun!
When mem’ries fill my eyes, I see
That our short time is nearly done. 

For long, I claimed to understand
What precious stone lay in my hand,
But now I’m all alone and sigh
As waves of sadness kiss the sand. 

Deceitful Time shall close your eyes
While whispering his clever lies,
And I will stay behind and weep
Until his will my own defies.
