Alone

Alone he cried
Alone he smiled
Alone he failed
Yet, alone he tried...

Fate never looked at him
She never cared
Alone he fought his war
Alone he slept on tar

He had his struggles deep,
Night after night without sleep
Tears alone he did bear
Through gloomy winds of despair.

Love, to him, more dear than Life
O him, more faithful than dog!
Flashed in moonlight his sharp knife
And then disappeared in deep Fog!
