Never a night passed,
Without her photograph.
It stayed idle, lifeless,
Speaking every word
I wish to hear from her.
Sometimes, I bring her
Closer to my lips,
Trying to comb her hair,
To kiss her forehead,
To hush into her ears,
......
NOW Nature hangs her mantle green
On every blooming tree,
And spreads her sheets o' daisies white
Out o'er the grassy lea;
Now Phoebus cheers the crystal streams,
And glads the azure skies;
But nought can glad the weary wight
That fast in durance lies.
Now laverocks wake the merry morn
Aloft on dewy wing;

I knew you when you were a child,
I don’t recall you,
Although I tried,
Were you were sweet,
While I was wild,
The precious pet of the classroom kind,
An image of a smiling child,
I beheld your face,
......
Oh brokenhearted one,
Has your soul grown weary?
Oh brokenhearted one,
Had the world grown cold?
Have you come the sea to engulf your lonely tears?
Have you come to the sea, to let the cold rest come?
Here, we will pull you deeper,
Deeper into the darkness
......
Every step I take,
Every move I make,
Everything I do
Ends up a mistake,
I fail,
And I try,
To start all over again
But
......
Every step I take,

O THOU pale orb that silent shines
While care-untroubled mortals sleep!
Thou seest a wretch who inly pines.
And wanders here to wail and weep!
With woe I nightly vigils keep,
Beneath thy wan, unwarming beam;
And mourn, in lamentation deep,
How life and love are all a dream!
I joyless view thy rays adorn
The faintly-marked, distant hill;
