Sadness Poem by MacGregor Tagliaferro

Lost then found then lost for eternity;
Sadness, this is the story

Found

She found me against the assembled odds,
Lonely, my life blood flowin'
Like water on earth spreadin'
From beyond, I heard her voice,
A lost man is saved,
Her arrows have pierced

Lost

I had seen love lost on earth;
Like the beast hidden in hell
Its countenance bold;
At its discretion governin' the thunder
Tramplin' on its enemies defeated:
I had that happen, and happen again

Found

Then she came, and her love was good
Happiness in me who knew the sweetness
I felt young, in the shadow of her beauty;
The most charmin' dreams have nothin'

Comparable, comparable

The torrents of pleasure
She spread in my heart

Lost

Then she was gone and her love no more
Sadness in me who knows the bitterness

Sadness

Nothin' soothes, nothin' forgives;
Crazy heart abandoned
It awaits the return;
It excuses my weakness;
To get me down it hastens:
For the words she uncovered
Are all I know of affection
If I could share my love with her

Sadness

It shows there is no mercy

One of the not chosen
It has revealed its pain

Sadness

Could I share my love with her

Sadness

That it not be blessed, that it not be sung;
Though it will be known to me
Beyond time and age,
Beyond the eternity
