And when the moon enrapts the streams
And trembles on the fen
A thousand years have flown it seems
Since then, since thenFor if today I part the veil
And see what time portended
I feel that long ago the tale
Was endedLittle I knew in youth's enchantment
That it is alike absurd
Or to lean against a shadow
Or believe a woman's wordFor if today I part the veil
And see what time portended
I feel that long ago the tale
Was endedThough she was betrayed
Through empty words spoken
I wished she'd have stayed
Remain with a heart that's brokenFor I no longer am confined
In that sweet country's spell
I have left you far behind
FarewellFair autumn still its breeze delays
Upon the springs that wail and sigh
And through the leaves the whisper strays
Of my sad dreams that now must die, die
