There was a time when I was shy and lonely,
And stood in strange bewilderment apart;
And no one spoke to me, and silence only
Would fold my songs into her tender heart.
There was a time when only windy darkness
Would fan my dreams with glamoured loveliness.
But you have come, and nights are filled with starkness;
And I am lonely for my loneliness.
On, you have come and silence is a stranger,
And darkness keeps aloof from my distress;
And you-oh, you are all too fraught with danger,
And I am lonely for my loneliness.
