Child, why do you linger beside her portal?

None shall hear you now if you knock or clamor.

All is dark, hidden in heaviest leafage.

None shall behold you.

Truth

Gone, gone, the dear, the beautiful lady!

I, her comrade, tarry but to lament her.

Ah, the day of her vanishing all things lovely

Shared in her fleetness!

Tell me her going.
