In the quest for love  hath I offend ‘d thee?
I hast but only thy heart to surrender
Shalt I listen to rubbish of a banshee
Curl up and die without words, tender

‘Tis my touch o'er bearing your soul
Speak'st not with the sword of thy tongue
Whilst swiftness of word's thy lip's troll
Til dismal word's, mine heart you have hung

Should'st upon thy death bed calls my name
I shalt embrace, thou whispers' to my bosom
Ah, thou final breath, thy kiss shall claim
Bittersweet lips, powder blue not plum

Fare thee well, I forgive thee for being cruel
Fare thee well, my love, for thine hath been a fool

     'tis a fool
     who turnest down
     one who offers
     love from thee
