Alone.
A pilgrim in darkness I stand.
-
Never again to feel thy sweet embrace.
Kneeling so; palm to palm with thou soft hand.
Thy lips, smooth as silk-I cannot replace.Vaulty heaven so high sings love to thee.
Oh golden sun. Oh soft gentle moon;
kings ransom I would give to let thy see.
Alas...Fate had thou beauty go too soon.
Such Beauty! More than that of an angel
is the chiming chorus of harps tonight,
which before lay untold by the fable-
as thou takes the last step into the light.Delicate as thou laye'st in thy tomb.
Tonight; My pained life I take; in gloom.Cruelty of stars never cease to stun
as it wilts the bold rose of Montague.
My rivers of sorrow formeth and run
whilst my gentle gaze falls upon thy gun.Why!
My heart doth pain for what I have lost
Oh my love,return'st to me.
I beg you!
One night of love was ours-but at such a cost
All be it a sin, I shall join thou tooI hateth the reaper of death and pain;
under dark wings he wisps my love away.
Under the darkness. One does heaven gain,
and misadventured stars will lead me away.Never again shall my widow finger
on thee linger.For I pull the trigger.
