I clearly got your message,
Though you did not write to me.
I could hear a damsel crying...
From her bondage to be free.

I could sense the fear and longing,
I could sense the deep despair...
And the message I was hearing,
Had a lonely, dismal air.

There was pain, and there was longing,
For a love which never was-
And a yearning for true romance,
Which really made me pause.

I thought, "I wonder why it is-
That she is so alone?
And wonder at the dirge she sings-
A sad, heart-breaking song...

I can feel, but not quite reach you,
So find comfort in my word...
My heart can empathize with thine...
Dear lady, you've been heard.
