Lament of the Lovelorn

(Verse 1) O heavy heart, sunk deep in lonesome shade, Why dost thou linger in such grievous mire? Mine own thoughts as traitors have betrayed, Kindling within a dark and dire pyre. (Chorus) Alas! Woe is me, with love's quest denied, Underneath pale moon, my silent tears abide. Pray, sweet death, come ease this burden sore, Or let love's light touch my soul once more. (Verse 2) In the still of night, I walk alone, The echoes of mine own steps do taunt me. Unseen tears mingle with the stones, Falling as would leaves from an autumn tree. (Chorus) Alas! Woe is me, with love's quest denied, Underneath pale moon, my silent tears abide. Pray, sweet death, come ease this burden sore, Or let love's light touch my soul once more. (Bridge) From such despair, my spirit yearns to flee, Yet bound by chains of my own forging, see! O doleful sprite, attend thy grievous plight, And wrest thyself from endless, sorrowed night. (Chorus) Alas! Woe is me, with love's quest denied, Underneath pale moon, my silent tears abide. Pray, sweet death, come ease this burden sore, Or let love's light touch my soul once more. (Chorus) Alas! Woe is me, with love's quest denied, Underneath pale moon, my silent tears abide. Pray, sweet death, come ease this burden sore, Or let love's light touch my soul once more. (Outro) Forlorn, forgotten, faint, my whispers bleed, A broken heart, none to heed.
