Absent Love

Absent Love

Tonight my love, I cannot bear to think,

How empty now my life has been.

And little fairies, all merrily unseen,

Laugh and jeer and mock.

Tonight no warmth of love I feel.

No moonlight walks and laughter.

Tonight no kisses my lips to seal,

Nor country frolics after.

For now my love is far away,

And land and sea divide us.

But I’m hoping that some sweet day,

We’ll find a warm togetherness.

Some day we shall, with happy hearts and true,

Find a new store of love, a blissful haven too!
