Sweet, wonderful pain, inevitable suffering
Tell me dear friend why have you brought these feelings to my heart?
The summer of my life is nearly over
The flowers once in full bloom are now wilting,
Slowly reclining their once glorious heads-
The autumn season will soon set in
To give my days the autumnul scent of sadness
And the flavour of things past-
And yet these unexpected and wonderful feelings
Never before felt, never sought
Are here haunting my last summer days,
Pouring hot, burning tears over the last flowers of my youth-
With effort they now lift their reclining heads
and look up towards the unfriendly sky to ask why
But tears and sadness remains their only reply
There's no one there to give comfort or soothe,
No one here to understand or approve
Not even you my dear friend
So close and yet unmoved-
Tell me please what I am to do?
Will this be the last memory of my youth?
The shadow of this pain which has drawn a cross
That I find so very hard to carry?
