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

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
