i visited the land,
held in memory so dear,
though when i arrived i could not stand,
for i was suddenly struck with fear.

the tree the house,
both were there,
but oh that sweetheart of mine,
but oh that sweetheart of mine,

i visited the meadow,
i visited the pond,
but what i saw made me turn yellow,
as my heart grew less fond.

the tree the house both,
both were still there,
but oh that sweetheart of mine,
but oh that sweetheart of mine.

then wandered around,
head held low,
till i found myself in the playground,
and the tears began to flow.

the tree the house
both were still there
but oh that sweetheart of mine
but oh that sweetheart of mine.

blighted with grief
and struck with woe
i made my way back home
or so is what i must call it

though it nothing more
than a tree and house
filled with tender memories
all gone as i silently chant:

Love gone, n'er to laugh again. Sad song/poem this early morning.

What do you chant? There are two points in the end ... is something missing maybe? In such a situation I guess we chant to encourage ourselves to overcome the melancholy.

Very effective writing.
