Departure Lyrics
We part for ever from today
Farewell beloved one
And I, unto may death, your way
Will shun.
I care not now where you may go
You can no more bereave me
Today the sweetest girl I know
Does leave me.
[Chorus:]
And the air still moves my curtain
As it used in times of yore...
Moonlight down the lane uncertain
Only you come nevermore
Nor shall I as in former hours
Build spanish castles high
With star-lit windows, and with towers of sky,
When, shivering with bitter cold
Through winter nights uncertain
I watched lest you perhaps unfold
Your curtain.
O what delight to stroll with you
Beneath that flowering trees
When poured its light their branches through,
The moon.
[Repeat Chorus]
That I might catch with rapturous thrill
The words that you let fall
And that today I barely still
Recall.
How often did I secretly pray
Swift night her sails would furl
That we might thus forever stray
Fair girl.
[Repeat Chorus]
Farewell beloved one
And I, unto may death, your way
Will shun.
You can no more bereave me
Today the sweetest girl I know
Does leave me.
As it used in times of yore...
Moonlight down the lane uncertain
Only you come nevermore
Build spanish castles high
With star-lit windows, and with towers of sky,
When, shivering with bitter cold
Through winter nights uncertain
I watched lest you perhaps unfold
Your curtain.
Beneath that flowering trees
When poured its light their branches through,
The moon.
The words that you let fall
And that today I barely still
Recall.
Swift night her sails would furl
That we might thus forever stray
Fair girl.

"O what delight to stroll with you Beneath that flowering trees When poured its light their branches through, The moon."
I think this must be one of my all time favorite lyrical verses I've read. it's quite a pleasure to read Agathodaimon's lyrics because they're not just good lyrics, they could pass for poetry as well, and this is a mighty example of that. simply beautiful.
