From The Diary Of Chopin (Through My Eyes) Poem by Meng Lim Dr

From Chopin's diary, through my eyes

So calm, gentle and tender is the night
though there's no moon, stars or the faintest light
my heart wells never as before in such longing and sorrow
let my music tell my heartbreak-story though I know

love, the love of my life, will not once gain return
while my feelings within me so grievously burn
at this hour so bereft and solemn as I write my Nocturne
if I've died a thousand times, for this love I'll still tearfully yearn
