My Beloved, You I Lost
The clock of civilization paused for a moment,
The graceful dawn lost its glow,
Moon and stars were not kindled with light,
It was deep dark, the billowy storm roared
In the romping rivalry,
In such lost Eden I fumbled around
To revive our forgotten dream
That we dreamed together when the virgin night
Brought down the pouring all over us!
The half sleepy earth woke me up. I scoured you
From valley to valley of an ancient east,
I read many hieroglyphs lest you left some
Hints for me therein to trace you back,
But only wailing of wind reverberated around me—
My beloved, you I lost.
