FORLORN

Gone but here, 

Atop my brooding heart

Far yet near

My thoughts brings her forth 

I miss my dear

And the halcyon days we had

Doughty visage shroud my tears

But lugubrious of countenance 

She severed ties tween us

And loses upon me an unalloyed loneliness 

I became unquiet and broody

Benighted of the path to walk henceforth

'tis loneliness all about me

My heart's desolate and hollow

Abandoned to brood

This, bitterness in my bosom

I passed into slumber at night 

Perchance this feeling will vanquish 

At my wake in the morn

Alas! Forlorn hope, it lingers on

Unavailing my quest for love anew

A damsel with ardour I crave for

To slough off this perpetual feeling

And cast off my woebegone visage.
