A Hogg’s Tale of Woe
Meeting Shakespeare on the Go.
A torrid tale of shattered love doth unfold Where heart and soul doth intertwine and fray In dreams and waking hours, my sorrow told A haunting specter lingers night and day
Oh, the pain of an unrequited love A vision tainted by cruel reality Unseen, untouched by what’s above Betrayal felt in dreams of night’s solemnity
In slumber’s realm, is no solace found No joy, no respite from this melancholy As the fair visage of my love doth bound Away from me, a cruel jest portrayed wholly
Thus do I weep and wail, lost in despair For a love that never truly was mine In dreams and waking, I’m left threadbare A tragic tale of love’s decline
My heartache laid bare, my anguish deep In dreams of you, my dearest one, so fleet, Yet, in reality, I’m left to weep Alone with sorrow, my wretched fate to meet.
‘Twas but a dream, the worst of dreams, Where you, my love, did e’er reside Yet now I wake, torn at the seams As reality’s cruel blow, I cannot abide
Oh, sweet love lost in the mists of night In dreams and waking, I yearn for thee But thou art gone, out of sight A painted lady, a mere memory
So I mourn in silence, my heart forlorn In dreams and waking, I long for thee A love that was never truly born A tragic tale, a woeful symphony
