Now I know why many men have stopped and wept Halfway between the loves they leave and seek, And wondered if travel leads them anywhere — Horizons keep the soft line of your cheek, The windy sky’s a locket for your hair.

It is in love that we are made, in love we disappear.

Then I start to struggle
With a feeble song
Which will overcome me
Many miles from home
