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 lovingmess 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 tear in my eyes

so sad it ends

as it began
