Twilight

Oh lady fair, of twilight mist

Why must thou leave so soon?

What beauty will thine eyes have missed

Beneath the coming moon

Thou hath never seen the dark of night

Neither the stars so high

Thou hath never seen the bright sunlight

That kisses the eastern sky

Trapped between the night and day

In a place thou can't escape

Never to see the magical way

The shadows change their shape

Just a prisoner of the inbetween

That vanishes in the night

A legend told, but never seen

A mystery to the light

Though fleeting is thy life long curse

Thou art blessed never to know it

For thy name hath inspired many a verse

To many an unknown poet

Oh lady fair, of twilight mist

Why must thou leave so soon?

What beauty will thine eyes have missed

Beneath the coming moon
