Parted

Dearest, our day is over --
Ended, the dream divine.
You must go back to your life;
I must go back to mine.
Back to the joyless duties,
Back to the fruitless tears.
Loving and yet divided
All through the empty years.
How can I live without you?
How can I let you go?
I that you loved so well, dear --
You that I worship so,
You that I worship so.
Dearest, the night is passing.
Waneth the trembling moon.
Hark! how the wind ariseth.
Morn will be here so soon.
Tell me again you love me --
Kiss me on lips and brow.
Love of my soul, I love you.
How can I leave you now?
How can I live without you?
How can I let you go?
I that you loved so well, dear --
You that I worship so,
You that I worship so.
I that you loved so well, dear --
You that I worship so.
