The gifts of love so often fade with time
And even newly-born, they bring some sadness;
They are like some short-living wine:
Consum'd, enjoy'd - the rest is spilt in darkness.
The precious moments, full of warmth and grace,
Somehow lose their strength of being remember'd;
The passing time continues to erase
All beautiful and truly venerated.
When those are gone, that is the human end:
As memory is cracking and deceiving,
And one doesn't value a lover or a friend,
What else in life is worth its empty living?
That's how great and sad Elizabeth
Had met her dignified lonesome end.
