White Queen (As It Began)
So sad her eyes smiling dark eyesSo sad her eyes as it beganOn such a breathless night as thisUpon my brow the lightest kissI walked aloneAnd all around the air did SAY
My lady soon will stir this wayIn sorrow knownThe white queen walksAnd the night grows paleStars of lovingness in her hairNeeding unheard pleading one wordSo sad her eyes she cannot see
How did thee fare what have thee seenThe mother of the willow greenI called her nameAnd 'neath the window have I stayedI loved the footsteps that she madeAnd when she cameWhite queen how my heart did acheAnd dry my lips no words would makeSo still I wait
My goddess hear my darkest fearI speak too lateIt's for evermore that I waitDear friends goodbyeNo tears in my eyesSo sad it ends as it began
