White Queen

Queen

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 sway
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 foot steps 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

No tears in my eyes
So sad it ends as it began
