The solace I sought, it never arrived,
Though the merciful one, they did depart,
The solace I sought, it never arrived,
Though the merciful one, they did depart.
What shall I name this kindness of theirs?
They soothed and then left my heart to smart.
No testament of devotion I could offer,
Unable to speak, unable to hear,
No testament of devotion I could offer,
Unable to speak, unable to hear.
I only opened my mouth,
While their eyes veiled in shy retreat, disappeared.
I only opened my mouth,
While their eyes veiled in shy retreat, disappeared.
In this gathering of rapture and wine,
In this assembly of knowing hearts,
In this gathering of rapture and wine,
In this assembly of knowing hearts,
Each held their cup, brimming,
We drank deep and then, we did depart.
Each held their cup, brimming,
We drank deep and then, we did depart.
