Gone Like Nightingale Song
Gone like nightingale song
Not suddenly fading, fading
Until the heart has grown strong
But in one fall
Dismembered me
In the crackling of feet on a dry leaf
In the breaking of the heart
To pour out its grief ...
And more still than all mortal body may tell
This absence of you make of time a hell
But you are gone, and must have only came
To singe my joy in flame.
