Do you remember when first I saw you?
I thought you conjured by my song.
As the shadows grew long, you wandered,
My twilight star, between white trees.
I thought you a dream, the fairest of visions,
Wrapped in starlight for your raiment.
But you, my soul, were no illusion,
O maiden bright with jewels crowned,
And to you I bound myself
And you to me, through what portion
Of eternity was granted us.

My love, our time is spent. And since those years
Of our life found tears and pain
With hope commingled, so now, beloved,
In your grief to hope still hold,
For though this world so long has held us,
In time all must escape it, and beyond
Is more than memory. Hear the promise:
Beyond the darkness lie the Halls of Waiting,
And when you find me there, we shall again
Together dwell, together wait and hope.
