She lit the fainting candle
In the midst of a tempest
For longing she couldn’t handle,
Her drowsy eyes wouldn’t rest
**************
“He’s coming”, she sighed
As if hope never withers,
As if her heart never died
Despite those throbbing years
**************
She opened the drawer
Embraced his dim bouquet
His scent was all over
His laughter was everywhere
**************
She suddenly sobbed,
Like a weeping cloud
As the candlelight faded,
So did her wailing sound
