Speak Not, My Beloved

Speak Not, My Beloved

Speak not, my beloved

For you conquer your word;

Time will not carry us forthwith

in front of the Mighty Lord

Speak not, my beloved

All the four winds listened long

You nodded slow a sweet "yes"

Companied by a glorious song

Speak not, my beloved

Thunder-voices air did smite

For how perfect you were

And never shall be unright

Speak not, my beloved

For vow will make you speak;

Men's eyes gape open as you marched

Yet you remained as meek

Speak not, my beloved

For I had witnessed no more

As your gentle lips touched mine

Followed with a joyous lore

But speak not, my beloved

For days turned to years

Yet your happy smiles were rare

Was there a doubt, my Dear?

Speak no more, my beloved

Your word to leave was free;

Uncontrolled but to shed tears

For my wife was now doubted to see

Speak now, my beloved

Answer my great wonder

When will you return to me?
