Love Locks

A thread of crystal, a thread of silk

Bound together over bloomings and hills–

Oh, there we stand, holding a lock named Love

With a key that conjoins our hearts,

As we tie it over the string of faith,

Sealing our lives forever.

Threads of crystal, threads of silk

Oh, now I stand in still farewell

Looking over that looming string

Which now swayed softly in the bright sun,

Accursed with a lock named Love,

But the key,

Will fit no more.
