Suddenly it's all over ..... The feeling that only Love can bring; Feet that once strolled through clover Now tread thorns, bemoaning their cruel sting
The moon on its silver throne Trembles as Love's pledges are broken; What seeds of distress are sown As Love's final farewell is spoken!
Songbirds that thrilled captive ears While warbling a lover's serenade, Now provoke unhappy tears As the Light of Love begins to fade
Loving eyes that beamed with hope Now bespeak a grim reality, Solace lies beyond their scope Since Fate issued its brutal decree!
Star-filled skies adorn the night As the moon announces day is done; Sadly, Love turns out the light, And two hearts no longer beat as one
