Our few years of love have vanished
As if a cloudy dream has burst,
And sent its fragments falling to the earth
Where it was born at first.
A gay and fast flirtation
That mellowed into love
Only to be smothered
By a strong hand from above.
I wonder why this happened.
This I can't explain,
But I know for ever
In my memory it will remain.
