When I, was alone in the sea of chance,
I yearned for your love above the yonder crest.
Should all my attempts, fail within a prance,
I wept, waited for the agony to rest.
Then I was alone on the heath of hope,
And were all remedies naught but in flaw.
For the sea of chance left me none to grope,
By sore regrets, I lived through mortal law.
Fare ye well, for the dirk incisive be,
It reaves the sorrow, till I could none see.
Raise the portly bier, to that old yew tree.
Do wit me not, and by that, I prithee.
"Thou shalt live happily to eternal dream,
For I dream for thee in life cerulean."
