George William Russell - Rememberance lyrics

THERE were many burning hours on the heartsweet tide, And we pa**ed away from ourselves, forgetting all The immortal moods that faded, the god who died, Hastening away to the King on a distant call. There were ruby dews were shed when the heart was riven, And pa**ionate pleading and prayers to the dead we had wronged; And we pa**ed away, unremembering and unforgiven, Hastening away to the King for the peace we longed. Love unremembered and heart-ache we left behind, We forsook them, unheeding, hastening away in our flight; We knew the hearts we had wronged of old we would find When we came to the fold of the King for rest in the night.
