Oh, must we part,
As ships at sunset,
As the seeds of a
Daffodil, sailing
The wind, away,
Into the darkness.
The Sun shone
Once, upon us,
Upon our faces;
Do you remember,
Still, my smile?
I’ve forgotten yours.
And the scent
Of violets, and
The amber sky;
Oh, they were
Our witnesses,
Keepers of love.
Whereto, have they
Gone now, and where
The light of dawn,
And shade of earth?
Lonely, now, whispers
The cold winter wind.
