So, this is farewell-time?
You haven't stayed
long enough
the essence of the now
you've hardly grasped -
the seed you've just planted
is still germinating
under the silent grass:

a call far too soon
evening is yet
to come to pass-
you didn't give
love a chance-
its faithfulness
you've failed to trust-

youth has just woken
let its hours last
spring hasn't set in
you've let go
much to fast

too impatient you are
too eager away to rush-
all your hopes
and dreams
you've foolishly
into oblivion cast!

Know this:
there's no coming back
you've broken someone's heart
the line of no return
has been drawn
oh, how sad
how grievous
alas! Alas! Alas!
