Kishore Kumar Hits — The Unthanks - Remembrance lyrics

Artist: The Unthanks

album: Lines, Pt. 3: Emily Bronte

Cold in the earth and the deep snow piled above thee
Far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee
Severed at last by time's all-severing wave?
Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover
Over the mountains, on that northern shore
Resting their wings where heath and fern leaves cover
Thy noble heart forever, ever more?
Cold in the earth—and fifteen wild Decembers,
From those brown hills, have melted into spring
Faithful, indeed, is the spirit that remembers
After such years of change and suffering!
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee
While the world's tide is bearing me along
Other desires and other hopes beset me
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!
No later light has lightened up my heaven
No second morn has ever shone for me
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee
But, when the days of golden dreams had perished
And even despair was powerless to destroy
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished
Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy
Then did I check the tears of useless passion
Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine
And, even yet, I dare not let it languish
Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish
How could I seek the empty world again?
