Beneath the silent oak he lies
awaiting as Death stopped the scree
bright tears no more, no woeful cries
Death sat and spoke to me
Dear child mine do dry your tears
I take him not for cause of pain
But he is gone we've lost our years
Death gestured towards the rain
See now the life on horizon's bow
see how the sunlight gleams
watch silver drops fall softly now
I know that what it seems-
I loved him deeper than the sea!
Faster than the waves!
Our love burned brighter than the sun!
And now he's sunk to graves!
Death turned his head to meet my eyes
his own were sad and blue
Dear one you know everything dies
this pain alone is not for you
I turned my head, my tears unshed
my face as pale as his
my trembling hands clutched at the thread
My only question is-
You'll meet again on a farther shore
of crashing waves and sands
with skies and hills of bright azure
painting sunsets over lands
My unshed tears fell freely now
my heart consumed with grief
My Dear let me at least allow
to bring you some relief
Relief?! From you? You took from me
my only source of life
my only hope you took from me
with a cleanly sharpened knife
My intention never was to harm
only collect what I am due
be still, soothe now your false alarm
and let what will ensue
Death took my hand and lead me on
Through trails of green and gold
Till summers lease was all but gone
A nightmare to behold
He sat me down on leaf strewn floors
Of burgandy and red
These things you fight, these inner wars
You're not alone
He said
A distant shore as death had spoke
Lay beyond the sparkling tree
The sleepers as their eyes have woke
To sing a melody
And though my heart seemed lone and cold
I reached with outstretched hands
Too feel my lovers song of old
Through distant shadowed lands
My love let me to you come now
My love as I to sleep
My love your song is with me now
As Death turned his head to weep
