Some dreams go on and on.
This day the fabled rose Of love does not seem to shine This day the hours pass slowly Like an old eremite, on his way To the moss of the graveyard This day the fabled rose Of love does not cover me With its endless scents Of warmth and passion, Or with the promises of life This day is cold; this day The wind blows through the ache Of my bones - and I am lost In the breath of a winter's frost
