Thou lightened my dreams
And now waning thou art —
Evanescent being
In shimmering snowy gleam
Thou blossoms, my rose,
But rueful is thy bloom —
As in scarlet painted bud
From thy brittle body grows
Spirit that lit bright
Darkens inside thy chest,
For thy life, scant in days
Abandons thine azure eyes
Frosty wind swept breath
Off thy calm, serene face
Our journey shall end here,
Fare thee well, thou walk into night…
I looked in thine azure eyes —
Thou whispered:
My love…
I kissed thy trembling lips
For the last time
For the first time…
