and many a moon shall rise and lead me into the cold embrace of the night here we drown in our grief drown in an absence of light here is no shelter no escape from our heart entwined in this tragic embrace i fear and bemourn to depart when the shadows fall and the sun sets in us all just silent hopes remain and the aching grief that grows into a bottomless vale i fall o i give myself away away far away to this dim and misty place my heart reflects the night languid moonshine i bath my skin in thee o may thy beauty be revealed in me silent winds whisper to me thy songs of solitude and joy
