Celtic Lament

There’s a ship sailing this evening.

Where it’s bearing me, who can tell?

There is one who knows I am leaving,

But she’ll not be saying farewell.

 

Many the days that we treasured,

Many the nights we were one.

I thought those days were forever.

Now, she says, those days are done.

 

There are hearts hard as a mountain.

There are longings deep as the sky.

There are sorrows beyond counting.

It is not for us to know why.
