They Were Promised Since Childhood Days
Two Silent Souls In Tender Gaze
Eyes Would Meet A Shy Delight
Smiles Exchanged In Golden Light
He So Quiet Lost In Books
Dreaming Of Love In Stolen Looks
She A Beauty Soft And Bright
A Blooming Rose In Morning Light
But Time Was Cruel It Changed Her Heart
She Sought New Dreams They Grew Apart
She Left Behind His Love So Pure
And Walked A Path Of Gold And Lure
He Let The World Slip Through His Hands
Abandoned Books Forsook His Plans
A Shadow In A Lonesome Room
Wrapped In Silence Bathed In Gloom
She Crossed The Seas Her Vows Anew
With Riches Vast A Life She Drew
He Stayed Behind With Weary Eyes
Lost In Dreams Beneath The Skies
A Beard Grew Long His Lips Still Smiled
Yet Sorrow Burned So Dark So Wild
He Lived On Whispers Memories Cold
A Love That Never Could Grow Old
One Fateful Day She Came Once More
To Find Him Lost His Soul So Sore
With Trembling Hands He Bid Goodbye
A Final Breath A Whispered Sigh
She Wept She Screamed Her Heart Undone
The Weight Too Great Her Life Was Spun
Beside His Form She Found Her Rest
Her Hand In His Her Final Breath
Two Hearts That Fate Had Torn Apart
Now Beat As One In Death’s Embrace.
