A seed of love that never found
The hallowed path to fertile ground;
The fruitless trees, the orchard bare,
A pain unseen, yet it is there

The lonely heart that scarce can beat
For want of love, cries in defeat;
No eyes gaze upon its despair,
A pain unseen, but it is there

An outstretched hand that no one holds
When the mantle of night unfolds;
Whispered low, a desperate prayer,
The pain unseen, but it is there

As the tide leaves, you'll hear the shore
Crying out "Please, come back once more!"
Alone! what a burden to bear,
A pain unseen, but it is there

The widowed sparrow mourns her mate,
Brief happiness betrayed by Fate;
An empty nest, built with such care,
The pain not seen, but it is there

The moon peers through my window pane,
Holding back tears, I smile in vain;
Of my torment, he's not aware,
A pain not seen, but it is there

Your memory brings such regret,
Yet love whispers "Never forget!"
A shattered dream beyond repair,
The pain unseen ..... but it is there
