Forgiveness

You pitied me, you forgave me, And even offered me your hand. When in my soul, where death roamed, Not a stone was left unturned. Don't punish me for these words. Don't plunge me back into the abyss. Someday by moonlight, a weary slave, I will disappear. Oh, if only you were Always with me, Smiling, kind, and True. I could step on the stars and kiss the Sun on its burning lips. All that on Sleepless nights, from the darkness of my soul I call to light. All that the gods have bestowed to me a Warrior and to me a poet. All bowing before your power, I will give And hide nothing. For the dazzling happiness To be with you at least Sometimes. Oh, if only you were Always with me, Smiling, kind, and True. I could step on the stars and kiss the Sun on its glowing Lips. I will run across a deserted field, Over ditches and fences. Forgetting myself and the horror of pain and All the conditions, the agreements. And you will never know, so that anxiety does Not cloud your gaze. In what cursed swamp my Road ends. Oh, if Only you were Always with me, Smiling, kind, and True. I could step on the stars and kiss the Sun on its glowing Lips. Oh, if only you were Always with me, Smiling, kind, and True. I could step on the stars and kiss the Sun on its glowing Lips.
