Again and again from the window I look
I cannot just concentrate, or read my book
I wait and wait – but there’s no sign of you
You have totally disappeared from my view
I sit up straight – there’s a knock on the door
But it’s only my neighbor – a veritable bore
Enveloped in my thoughts, I almost forget her
For I am reliving events that occurred last year.
We quarreled on a trifle, and you walked away
Then not even the sun could brighten up the day
I called out to you, but your anger was too great
The only thing I disliked – was that very trait
Memories are the only things I have now
Repentant and sad – that’s what I am now
My heart painfully remembers your charming little smile
That had so captivated me for such a great while
Standing on the terrace, I let out a sigh
I wish! Oh! How I wish, that I can just die
But no! there are others of whom I should think
Though temptation pulls my life almost to the brink
There’s a hand on my shoulder, a touch as soft
As that when you touched me by the hay-loft
I feel it’s a dream, and so do not turn
For my heart does pain – love’s flame does burn
Then a voice whispers my name, and I know it is you
I know my dream has at last come true
No questions are asked, no answers are given
And yet, we both know, each is forgiven.
As we hold each other close, I do not have a doubt
That love has chased all fears and misgivings out
No questions are asked, no answers are given
And yet we both know that each is forgiven.
