White Queen – Queen

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 say
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
Heeding, 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 footsteps 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
