WHERE HAS EVERYTHING GONE!

Ah, where has the sweet pain of parting gone?

Ah, where has the joy of meeting her gone?

Once filled with visions of her beauty,

Ah, where has now my imagination gone?

How can I shed tears of blood now,

When the heartache and the grief is gone!

Now, the days are filled with life's worries,

O, what's wrong, where’s the poet in me gone?
