AFTERMATH
Out of my life has gone
So much that was worth the living
I watch with dimmed eyes for the dawn
Hoping, despairing, forgiving.
So much that was worth the living
I watch with dimmed eyes for the dawn
Hoping, despairing, forgiving.
Hoping that hope may live,
Despairing lest fate us sever,
Forgiving whate'er's to forgive,
Forever, and ever, and ever.
Despairing lest fate us sever,
Forgiving whate'er's to forgive,
Forever, and ever, and ever.
