The Love of A Soldier

Silently far and wide mists quickly glide.
Was it your voice, my love,
that cried out to me in the dark of the night
when our enemies destroyed our soldiers?
A faint vision flashed through my mind..
sorrowful eyes looked into my soul.
Oh, I am lost without you, dearest.
But do not weep for me.
Your precious tears kill me more
than the tragedies I face every day.

Autumn leaves fall all around me so softly
as if our time for rest has come.
But I will not rest. No, not yet!
Not until I have brought us victory,
not until I can embrace your fragile sweetness again.
I need to feel your lips. I have forgotten
the taste of your love and your touch.
I desperately hold on to you,
to the memory of your smile.
It can never compare to a bright summer day.

Don't cry for me. I will come back.
