Gently he raps on my window and whispers my name in the eaves. I wake to see that he's below twirling round in the fallen leaves. His stately waltz enchants me so, but why does he even court me? He knows that I can never go and forever a bachelor he'll be. Through the willow he starts to moan. It haunts me as I hear him weep. Fate leaves him roaming all alone, but in my soul I'm his to keep.
