And it goes along,
Though like a dying soldier
Longs a last breath
For it, I did too long.
The greatest joy,
The fullest bliss.
Gone! Like the last bloom
Of summer. Completely gone amiss.
It falls out of my reach
To become the never-grasped dream;
A tranquility renew-
the same it did seem;
A never ending hope,
The only opportunity
for happiness to be brought..
Yet, it fades away
To remain the most blessed thing,
My invisible wing
The one I feared would be lost
The one i wanted the most!
