And when the moon enrapts the streams And trembles on the fen A thousand years have flown it seems Since then For if today I part the veil And see what time portended I feel that long ago the tale Was ended Little I knew in youths enchantment That it is alike absurd Or to lean against a shadow Or believe a womans word For if today I part the veil And see what time portended I feel that long ago the tale Was ended Though she once betrayed Though empty words spoken I wished shed have stayed Remain with a heart thats broken For I no longer am confined In that sweet countrys spell I have left you far behind Farewell Fair autumn still its breeze delays Upon the springs that wail and sigh And through the leaves the whisper strays Of my sad dreams that now must die
