Ballads of Battle/Song of True Lovers

by Joseph Lee

SONG OF TRUE LOVERS

When we two parted,
It was a weeping rain;
The sun shall shine upon the day
That we two meet again.

When we two severed,
The stream was drowned in mist;
Upon that eve, with moonlight
Its waters will be kiss'd.

When we two parted,
It was an eerie wind;
When I shall set my sail for home
The breezes will be kind.

When we two parted,
The trees stood gaunt and bare;
They will be bourgeoning with Spring
When next we wander there.

When we two parted,
The year was at its close;
Some day, some day, the desert
Shall blossom as the rose.

When we two parted,
The days were full of pain;
When next we meet, we meet, indeed,
Never to part again,
Dear love,
Never to part again.
