White Queen(as it began)

So sad her eyes, smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes, as it began

On such a breathless night as this, upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone...
And all around the air did sway, my lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known, the white queen walks
And the night grows pale, stars of lovingness in her hair

Heeding, unheard, pleading one word 
So sad, my eyes, she cannot see 

How did thee fare what have thee seen 
The mother of the willow green, I call her name
And 'neath her window have I stayed, I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came, white queen how my heart did ache 
And dry my lips no word would make, so still I wait 

My goddess hear my darkest fear, I speak too late 
It's for evermore that I wait 

Dear friend goodbye, no tears in my eyes
So sad, it ends as it began
