As the gray skies enveloped and devoured the bright moon

I thought of her one last time before I'll be gone soon

I wanted to know how she has been all of these years

Has she been in bliss or buried in the hands of tears

I love her not because of her eyes

That mirrored the sunny day blue skies

Eyes that look at me and make me still

Eyes that I dream of and always will

I love her not because of her smile

Smiles that I imagine from a mile

Her sweet laughter, her voice all of these

All of these I wanted to hear, Please!

I did not come to love her for what she has

Everything will eventually come to pass

I love her dear, only because of love's sake

This roughly, lonely journey, I will soon take.

They say death is an awfully big adventure!

All those horrid dark place I wish not to venture

So before I lay in the hands of a sad death

I shall carve on my future grave; OLIVER SETH

Died so young, waiting for his bride, his beloved lady

Died on this day, fourteenth of July of 1840

So before I die, I fervently pray

That all of my unsaid love will find its way

To my beloved lady before she'll fade away
