Lament |
| The choice was mine, and mine completely |
| I could have any prize that I desired |
| I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire |
| Or else, or else I could choose time |
| Remember I was very young then |
| And a year was forever and a day |
| So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be? |
| I saw the lights, and I was on my way |
| And how I lived, how they shone |
| But how soon the lights were gone |
| The choice was yours and noone else’s |
| You can cry for a body in despair |
| Hang your head because she is no longer there |
| To shine, to dazzle, or betray |
| How she lived, how she shone |
| But how soon the lights were gone |
| Eyes, hair, face, image |
| All must be preserved |
| Still life displayed forever |
| No less than she deserved |
