Hope.
A magician gave me gold,
And I locked it in a chest,
Safe as a lover's secret
Within a lover's breast.
And I locked it in a chest,
Safe as a lover's secret
Within a lover's breast.
When the rainy days gloomed down,
Rotting my piled-up sheaves,
I opened the treasure casket,
And there were only leaves.
Rotting my piled-up sheaves,
I opened the treasure casket,
And there were only leaves.
