I've loved a man much So much we bore children in dreams More alive than they were real -But- I loved this man much Too much our children were killed without my knowing Death was delivered before they were delivered themselves I loved my children much Before his fire burnt them to ashes I loved my children much And much more do I love them still
I loved a man much No more since he exchanged their lives for gold TheirΒ Β death was at his doing and my love kept me blind Too late I saw them no more, too late to still hope for life Yet with the heart I had once given to him I keep them half alive Never shall I hold my children in these arms that feel Yet forever will I embrace them as they eternally embrace me I mourn their unliving with every tear I cry A dream our future will always remain But a paradise our lives will be
