Upon the ship of lonely ways

And lovely loves but endless days

Does float upon waves high and strong

In search of islands too far gone

Oh woe in places long forgot

In restless bodies, blood does clot

And crows do scream and food run dry 

And water wet and red so wry

And so the lovers fall to knees 

Long straight but bent with such high pleas 

With gracious scents--familiar touch 

Come sweeter days and memories such

But were those days so high in might

Whilst all they fade in fire's fight

But thoughts do run and so does blood

More swiftly when the lies grow bud

And so we love, or so we say

As nights grow long on endless day

We choose to keep the love we hold

For sweeter memories too would mold
