I In times of warmth when and comfort dear cast their blindless light upon my star, How is it I wish to disappear And find myself again where you are? Is it that home is only home with And how then did you earn your that name When judged by years it's new? My home is not my home just the same. And so I will be as I must Although without you tastes as dust.
II What sweetened torture I endure day When hour hour passes by And still I so very far away that which I desire - yes, thee and I Yet is my sadness, for ere now, I never had pined someone's touch Nor eyes, nor lips, nor hands, nor raven And here I am missing too much. My is that I weep at this While glad I have a love to miss.
III Heartsick have I been this long, day is my disposition, yet I smile and try my to hide away The pain, the life, the love I can't Sorry am I for the I fool They ask for save my company And yet I seem to break the rule That sayeth I love twice bound I'll be Alas, I slip and to them show That far away my heart to go.
IV It seems only a moment I listened to the tone Of thy too far off voice at But now I myself alone Yet, my closed, I am not so For underneath my I feel flesh, caressing slow, And hold thy tongue my lips caring how forlorn it seems I'll sleep to you in my dreams.
V A cold wind my mind As though I were a of grass Which, rained upon, has been blind And now for the storm to pass But, strange, the cometh I To travel's end and your The darker to go the sky The further off seemeth face 'Tis trying, when in pain, to 'Tis harder still to Time.
