A bitterness, a touch of it in me,
A bitterness to melt the heart awhile,
Sit here, drink deep, and weep,
A bitterness, a touch of it.
On every side, a silence veiled and deep,
On every side, a silence veiled and deep,
Let shadows speak, let them at last converse,
A bitterness, a touch of it.
A soul, a being, to love with all their might,
A soul to know, a vision to exist,
A bitterness, a touch of it.
Oh, this ache of heart, the burning in my eyes,
Oh, this ache of heart, the burning in my eyes,
If sleep should come, then let me close my eyes,
A bitterness, to melt the heart.
