First Line: See the silver streak as it gleams and flashes
Last Line: Sorrow transcended.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
See the silver streak as it gleams and flashes
On the sparkling sands where it falls and splashes,
Leaving fiery pools till the next wave dashes
Flames into ashes.
Who can warn a maid -- in her youth not knowing --
"Happiness is brief, and will soon be going."
From those mirrored eyes where her love is glowing,
Tears will be flowing.
Who would ever know that a soul depended
For its hope and faith -- after love had ended,
On this shining light, from the sky suspended?
Sorrow transcended.
