Lonely

Tell me, now tell me How the craggy mountains I'll ascend Weren't you the vitality that made me be? But 'am now lonely in dingy ditch, can't transcend Gloom gain my fine world of love When up the sky t'used to stand bright stars But where in this darkness the bright star above? Ain't 'parting' the worst sore of all scars? Oceans are as silent as sleep Moon as dim as the land of shadows Nothing worthy: all my pursuits's part's sweep I bite my solitude within these closed windows The morning rays no longer sweet snug And the pleasant breeze! Which warmth t'shall cool? Birds melodies these days din in my lug No food; what else if not for sweet kiss to drool? This is the desolate life the split left Weary with the itch for heart's rest Why can't lovers be, instead of this cleft? I ask why break when it spawns us opprest?
