I sought you but I could not find you,
I called you, but you would not answer
I wandered over mountains and thru valleys
The moon & stars were bright, but were dimmed
By my thought of you eyes sparkling in my mind.
The road through wooded meadows was frightening
Few travelled on that lonely road
Those I met had never heard of your name
I travelled and travelled, but still
Not a one heard of you nor seen you
At mid-night, I thirsted for loveliness
I lay under the shadow of the leafy green Weeping Willow
I cried while calling upon your name, but no voice replied.
Only the bubbling of the pebbly brook answered my question
The waters had drowsy sounds, the hills were dark
My heart grew tired from travelling, but there was no place
That suited me, and if you weren't there it would never suit me
I was too homesick for your face,
Thinking of you, at the roads edge I fell asleep
