WHITE QUEEN(AS IT BEGAN)

So sad her eyes Smiling dark eyes So sad her eyes As it began On such a breathless night as this Upon my brow the lightest kiss I walked alone And all around the air did sway My lady soon will stir this way In sorrow known The White Queen walks and the night grows pale Stars of lovingness in her hair Needing - unheard Pleading - one word So sad my eyes She cannot see How did thee fare, what have thee seen The mother of the willow green I call her name And 'neath her window have I stayed I loved the foot steps that she made And when she came White Queen how my heart did ache And dry my lips no word would make So still I wait My goddess hear my darkest fear I speak too late It's for evermore that I wait Dear friend goodbye No tears in my eyes So sad it ends As it began
