The ending of our yesterday - Agathodaimon

And when the moon enrapts the streams

And trembles on the fen

A thousand years have flown it seems

Since then

For if today I part the veil

And see what time portended

I feel that long ago the tale

Was ended

Little I knew in youth’s enchantment

That it is alike absurd

Or to lean against a shadow

Or believe a woman’s word

For if today I part the veil

And see what time portended

I feel that long ago the tale

Was ended

Though she once betrayed

Though empty words spoken

I wished she’d have stayed

Remained with a heart that’s broken

For I no longer am confined

In that sweet country’s spell

I have left you far behind

Farewell

Fair autumn still its breeze delays

Upon the springs that wail and sigh

And through the leaves the whisper strays

Of my sad dreams that now must die
