When I’m lonely
I go most boldly
Toward the furthest star
O’er hill and dale
through sleet and hail
To where I hope you are.
Upon yonder hill
And nearer still
To that cold and lonely star
I spy your form upon a rock
Where on misty morn a bird might cock
Of a sudden I feel afar.
Away I tumble
Your visage begins to crumble
And that old and lonely star she fades away.
Hurtling backwards, feet over head
I wake in my mourning bed
Above the star ‘midst clouds of grey.
