O Longing
leave me
O longing leave me and
don’t deceive me
The day it is gone and
the night is a-falling
The leaves they are
blown and the tree it is withered
And tumbling, the night
falls.
O longing leave me, my
heart it is breaking
With trembled dreams of
the promised dusk-time
My thirst is so bitter
my throat cannot swallow
The tears that are
sweeping.
O longing leave me, this
sad summer evening
To gaze at the last
light that covers the mountain
And drink, like a child
from the sweet summer fountain
I fall like a feather in
search of a nest
O longing leave me
Leave me
To rest.
