Alone and Forsaken
Love's Withering Embrace: Alone and Forsaken
Lyrics
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
We encountered each other during the spring, symbolizing a time of renewal and growth.
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
The surroundings were vibrant and lively, with green pastures and golden meadows.
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Our love blossomed during the summer season.
Her love like the leaves now have withered and gone
However, her love, like leaves, has withered and disappeared.
The roses have faded, there's frost at my door
The roses, representing love, have faded, and there's a coldness at my doorstep.
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The morning birds, usually a symbol of joy, have ceased their song.
The grass in the valley is starting to die
The grass in the valley, a metaphor for vitality, is dying.
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry
In the darkness, the whippoorwills cry, indicating a somber atmosphere.
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Feeling abandoned and rejected by both destiny and humanity.
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
An appeal to the Lord for comfort and support in the face of loneliness.
Oh, please understand
An additional plea for understanding and solace.
Oh, where has she gone to? Oh, where can she be?
Expressing confusion and sorrow about the whereabouts of the person once loved.
She may have forsaken some other like me
Suspecting that she may have abandoned someone else, similar to the speaker.
She promised to honor, to love, and obey
Recalling vows of honor, love, and obedience that were broken and treated casually.
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away
Highlighting the insincerity of those vows, describing them as playthings discarded.
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
The setting becomes darker, and the sky turns gray, symbolizing a gloomy situation.
A hound in the distance is starting to bey
A distant hound baying adds to the melancholic atmosphere.
I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
Wondering about her thoughts, feeling forsaken and unloved.
Forsaken, forgotten without any love
Left behind, forgotten, and without any love.
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Reiterating the feeling of being alone and abandoned by both fate and people.
Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
Seeking divine intervention and guidance in the midst of despair.
Oh, please understand
A repeated plea for understanding and assistance from the Lord.
