Loneliness

FORLORN Gone but here, Atop my brooding heart Far yet near My thoughts brings her forth I miss my dear And the halcyon days we had Doughty visage shroud my tears But lugubrious of countenance She severed ties tween us And loses upon me an unalloyed loneliness I became unquiet and broody Benighted of the path to walk henceforth 'tis loneliness all about me My heart's desolate and hollow Abandoned to brood This, bitterness in my bosom I passed into slumber at night Perchance this feeling will vanquish At my wake in the morn Alas! Forlorn hope, it lingers on Unavailing my quest for love anew A damsel with ardour I crave for To slough off this perpetual feeling And cast off my woebegone visage.
