1. He went in haste as lightning flashed
And tears of yearning from his eyes gushed

2. He went as nimble horses kicked up pebbles
Yet the meadows felt no crack from his tread

3. He went confused, lost in the dark night
Unsure to humble himself or hold his head high

4. The flame of his longing melted his insides
As a lit fire melts down a candle wick
