|
Shy thoughts and grave hands do wander as they're kissed. |
|
From furrow to furrow, within the palms of amethyst. |
|
How frail is your tongue, whose sound is gone sere? |
|
Will it cleave a tasteful song? |
|
The means are still unclear. |
|
With shy thoughts and torn wide eyes. |
|
Welladay, welladay! |
|
Can't I beg of you to stay? |
|
Pale lilies in her frail, |
|
dark leaves in my hair. |
|
With dark leers and a sigh, |
|
is there an armour of snow? |
|
For when I bore a troubled mind |
|
wind whirls, to and fro, |
|
with shy thoughts and scattered wee hands. |
|
Turn away, turn away! |
|
Can't I beg of you to stay? |
|
A vague song of amethyst comes in vain, welladay! |
|
Is there no place for you to stay? |
|
And when the hills come alive the tune to and fro. |
