As he sat upon his porch On the late October night The moon gleaming through the fog A lantern burning bright beside the door His beacon of hope and love Through the dense fog he watches and waits Waiting for a sign of his true love's fore coming arrival Only silence filling his senses The path never to be taken, He waits for eternity On the bare porch for his love Struck down upon his ebony steed Two lives lost from hatred Hatred of their forbidden love He waits faithfully from his life to the next Never to glimpse the face of happiness
