Gone!
Gone, till the end of the year,
Gone, and the light gone with her, and left me in shadow here!
Gone -- flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night and the sun from the day!
Gone, and a cloud in my heart, and a storm in the air!
Flown to the east or the west, flitted I know not where!
Down in the south is a flash and a groan: she is there! she is there!
