WHERE DID YOU GO, MATHILDA?

                                                                      I saw you In the morning, slept with me you did last 
Night,

A tear In your eye but yet you did not cry, a time 
For goodbye.

The sun was shining bright, I saw you last night beneath 
A full moons' light,


The bed has cobwebs, only a trace of where once a smile  
rested beside me.


Love was as I once loved, forever was today and tomorrow 
Never knew,

Where did you go Mathilda, where are you now, why did 
You forget?

A cool breeze visits' an open window, the stars' hide  
Within the searching clouds',


I saw you last night as I drifted beyond a dream, when  
I awoke, there was only me.


Where did you go Mathilda, why did you go away, where did  
You go my Mathilda?


Why was It, you could not stay.
