1. Spring has departed, leaving the meadows desolate
Like the melancholy of being apart from you

2. Had you stayed, our hearts would not have grieved
Although we lost the roses and jasmine

3. For we found in you blossoms
Of joy and water to quench our thirst

4. Your gentle breeze like breaths of contentment
Your light enveloping the meadows, alluring us

5. The beauties of spring paled next to your grace
For you have no thorns to prick us

6. Oh months that sped by so swiftly like wishes
If only I could make you into years

7. And stop time in its tracks
Lest we pass an hour that makes us weep

8. And reach out our hands, only to have them return
Placed again over our hearts

9. Fearing they may fall in sorrow
Or overflow with anguish and grief

10. You had been the antidote in life that broke its bow
Until we saw its arrows pierce us

11. It's as if it regained its strength and sharpness
When your company was ours for a while
