A Dark Rider


O my sweet love
Where have you gone now
What a wonderful life
When I had you as my wife
Full of love luck and laughter
How now you wished to disappear
Who is that great enemy of me
To separate me from thee
O is he the dark rider on his
Bright beautiful golden chariot
Who has laid his cold cruel hands
On you my sweet heart
How could you desert me and depart
O how helpless am I
O my sweet love
Our old memories we cherished
New ones we nourshied
Now, without you how can I flourish?
