Long ago in a land across the sea
I did long to give my love to a beauty close to me.
Long nights did I burn for her
But my light she would never see.
In slowly passing days I yearned for her
And called her to my heart.
But filled with fear and shadow doubt
No wonder could I start
So my days were filled with yearning and tears.
Still I loved her with all my soul
Hoping for a later year when she would uncover her eyes
And the fog around me clears.
