Like To A Silver Bow Lyrics - Singles - Darkseed

Lyrics: Hertrich 

Once I wrote her name upon the sand, 

but came a wave and washed it away 

Again I wrote it with a second hand 

but came a tide, made my plans prey 

Who so list to think, I know where is a sign 

I am of them but furthest come behind 

Yet may I, by no means, my wearied mind 

draw from my thoughts, but as they flee 

ashore, fainting I follow, I leave off 

therefore, since in a net I seek to hold 

the wind 

The sweet season, that bud and bloom 

forth brings 

The summer has come, for every spray 

now springs 

With green had clad with hill and ehe 

the vale 

The nightingale with feathers new 

the sings 

"Vain man", she said, "that dost in vain 

assay, a mortal name so to immortalize, 

for I myself shall like to this decay 

and ehe my name be wiped out likewise"
