Zephrun’s Imperium

Thinking about a song I sang for an honors choir in 5th grade. There's a reason these lyrics have stayed with me all of eight years.

The water is wide, 
I cannot cross o'er
Neither have I
The wings to fly

Build me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My true love and I

A ship there is 
And she sails the seas
She's laiden deep
As deep can be

But not so deep
As the love I'm in
And I know not if
I sink or swim

I leaned by back
Against a young oak
Thinking it were
A trusty tree

But first it bended
And then it broke
Thus did my love
Prove false to me

Oh love is splendid 
And love is kind
Bright as a jewel
When first it's new

But love grows old
And waxes cold
And fades away
Like the morning dew
