Our longings, held within the heart, remained,
Our longings, held within the heart, remained.
Why did your grace, it seems, evade?
Our longings, held within.
The world's unkindness holds no sting,
The world's unkindness holds no sting.
Though some hopes fade, new havens spring,
Though some hopes fade, new havens spring.
Our longings, held within the heart, remained,
Our longings, held within.
We vowed to smile when parting came,
We vowed to smile when parting came.
We vowed to smile when parting came,
But now, the eyes with tears aflame,
But now, the eyes with tears aflame.
Our longings, held within the heart, remained,
Our longings, held within.
They dealt their secret acts of guile,
They dealt their secret acts of guile.
And we, for beauty's charm, did reconcile,
And we, for beauty's charm, did reconcile.
Our longings, held within the heart, remained,
Our longings, held within.
Though autumn's plots did yearn to seize,
Though autumn's plots did yearn to seize,
Though autumn's plots did yearn to seize,
We stand, a tree, that will not cease,
We stand, a tree, that will not cease.
Our longings, held within the heart, remained,
Why did your grace, it seems, evade?
Our longings, held within.
