The roses were red. The sky was blue.
The grass was green. The yard was clean.
The birds were singing. The leaves were swinging--
The stream was jingling when the rain was jazzing.
The moon was dazzling, and the stars were twinkling--
The breeze was smashing, and the waves were dashing!
Colourful dreams screened at nights and--
Colourful thoughts all around my thoughts--Then!
For You were there beside, showering my soul with love!
The roses look withered. The sky looks pale.
The grass looks brown. The yard looks lean.
The day looks dull and time at my disposal!
The birds are all crying, the leaves murmuring.
The stream's just flowing and the rain simply pouring!
The moon is so silent and the stars, I can't see them anywhere!
Only darkness! Complete heart burning darkness!
No soothing breeze, no hugging waves-- but loneliness!
Suffocating loneliness! Only nightmares, no beauty anywhere, in
Anything now! For You are too far to sprinkle dew on my soul!
