A smile that vanished in the winds of time;
No hands could catch its swift, elusive pace,
No words could keep its rhythm or its rhyme.
The winds have shifted; now the skies have changed,
The sun no longer warms that tender scene;
The world, transformed, is foreign and estranged,
And what has been will never more have been.
The stars aligned but once, and now no more—
Their pattern lost within the endless night;
The chance that once stood open, now a door
That’s closed forever, fading out of sight.
Yet though that moment never comes again,
It lives within my heart, her soft refrain.
