I would not stay
a moment longer
the message is in your eyes
accusing me as the wrong doer-

I would not speak
every word I had spoken before
the grassland and sea had heard
my every syllable and song before-

I would not remind
love should its constancy know
imprinted in my faithful heart
such I need not prove or show-

I would not plead
supplication would be in vain
of the past's splendour I thought
now an endless chronicle of pain-

I would not harbour
any anger or hate
new love you have found
that joy is yours to celebrate-

I would not return
I have nothing here more to claim
empty is the heart that does no longer yearn
the winds of fate have spoken and swept away my name.
