Lyrics
 White Queen (as it began)
 
   So sad her eyes smiling dark eyes
   So sad her eyes as it began
   On such a breathless night as this
   Upon my brow the lightest kiss
   I walked alone

   And all around the air did sway
   My lady soon will stir this way
   In sorrow known
 
   The white queen walks
   And the night grows pale
   Stars of lovingness in her hair
   Heeding unheard pleading one word
   So sad my eyes she cannot see
   How did thee fare what have thee seen
   The mother of the willow green
   I call her name
 
   And 'neath her window have I stayed
   I loved the footsteps that she made
   And when she came

   White queen how my heart did ache
   And dry my lips no word would make
   So still I wait
   My goddess hear my darkest fear
   I speak too late
   It's for evermore that I wait

   Dear friend goodbye
   No tears in my eyes
   So sad it ends as it began
