Daughter of Memory, giver of delight
Cloaked in stars,
the lamp of night
Bestow upon me
your eloquent song
Spirit of love,
your inspiration strong
You kindle my love
with your poetic flame
Inspiring every
verse to praise your name
To frame in memory
every touch
By the river we
loved so much
You whisper hope,
in a voice divine
Your eyes like
Obsidian shine
Love engulfs your
fascinating gaze
Could not soothe
the destructive blaze
The angry storms
and the tempest roar
Inside my heart
like never before
Danger surrounds
me, pain and woe
You are the only
comfort I will ever know
In this desolate
world you are the light
That pulls me from
the depth of darkest night
The icy clasp of
Death chills my grave
Even your strong
love could not save
Here lies a youth;
a bard unknown
Death has marked
him for her own
