Someone's decided 
To test me again, 
Someone's divided 
My past and pain. 

From future resembling 
The numbness of night, 
So silent and senseless, 
I'm taking my flight. 

Forgive me, oh princess, 
My doubts and fear, 
Forgive me my weakness 
And sorrows I bear. 

And now the time [bad word] for reaping, 
The grimmer gathering of grain. 
And though the memories are keeping me sane, 
The summer's gone. And nothing's gained. 

Aimless and empty, 
Like stars in your crown. 
Twilight is tempting - 
Not me, for I drown 

In absolute darkness - 
I know you've been here! - 
Where wounded [bad word] 
And madness adhere! 

Forgive me, oh princess, 
My doubts and fear, 
Forgive me my weakness 
And sorrows I bear. 

And now the time [bad word] for reaping, 
The grimmer gathering of grain. 
And though the memories are keeping me sane, 
The summer's gone. And nothing's gained. 
The summer's gone. And nothing's gained.
