not here, not there



 Love is nowhere - it is not here, not there
 Somewhere a heart open. Where? Be what kind?
 My world has gone empty the trees gone bare

Winter has fallen, chill fells the noon air
Tremble in sorrow for love, this my mind
Love is nowhere - it is not here, not there

Where 'morrow, without her love’s sweet care?
Sorrow, holds tight my life here un-reclined
My world has gone empty the trees gone bare

My heart grows cold without a touch so fair
Sorrows reason chosen to be declined
Love is nowhere - it is not here, not there

The nights darkness, turned light to be unshared
I cry my sorrow, Where? Good grace to find!
My world has gone empty the trees gone bare

Sense I, her last breath kiss the cold night air?
Be it her heart calling me? “ here you'll find"
Love is nowhere - it is not here, not there
My world has gone empty the trees gone bare
