my darling sun shines in the east
though you can't see it rising
within you dwells an ignorant beast
past all foretold advising

for you, a prince, with diamond tears
could cast gray skies away
though vibrant as your meddling fears
your smile is absent today

what for, my zealous heart
so present in the spring?
& in your thoughts the seasons part
to change their melodic ring

lady luck has cast her dice
across the horizon of gold
set your pace to further suffice
this contemplative hold

what fate might have in store for you
could harbor more than woe
to repose on words you thought to be true
so rest, my dear...lie low
