So sad her eyes
Smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes
As it began
On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The White Queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair
Needing - unheard
Pleading - one word
So sad my eyes
She cannot see
How did thee fare, what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And 'neath her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came
White Queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would make
So still I wait
My Goddess, hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's for evermore that I wait
Dear friend goodbye
No tears in my eyes
So sad it ends
As it began

♪ Song fact: Subtitled "As It Began," this song was written by Queen guitarist Brian May. It has a medieval, mystical feel, telling the story of a journey to see the White Queen. In the end, there is sorrow, as the journey ends as it began.
It's possible the song is an allegory for real-life relationship, but more likely it's storytelling, which delivered in the voice of Freddie Mercury proved transformative.
The album also contains a song called "The March Of The Black Queen," which was written by Freddie Mercury. The songs don't seem related, but if you're looking for a concept, you can see them as tug between good and evil.
This was a concert favorite for Queen, performed at many of their shows in the '70s. It was never a hit, but went over very well live and helped the band pace the show. Mercury set at the piano for much of the song, giving him some time off his feet.
