Half-Forgotten Song
Before I go, my love, before I go,
could we together watch the afterglow?
It won't be long, it wouldn't take too long
to you I'll be a half-forgotten song.
Now let us watch the slowly setting sun,
so soothing sweet, though end has just begun,
so brightly beaming, yet, so sadly sighing,
the day's farewell and now the light is dying.
Behold, my love, the sweetly seething sky,
the blazing burst of colors draws a sigh.
The flaming purple clouds float by on high,
the sun's farewell and now, my love, goodbye!
