The beauty of love has not found me

Its hands have not gripped me so tight

For the darkness of hate is upon me

I see day, not as day, but as night.

I yearn for the dear love to find me

With my heart and my soul and my might

For darkness has closed in upon me

I see day, not as day, but as night.

The children are playing and laughing

But I cannot find love in delight
