Analysis of In That Shivering Night
In that shivering night
I saw your lovely face
But in time we faded
Memories now distant
The flower too withered
Lost but not forgotten
The remembered spirit
Now two misplaced souls
The sea melancholy
The child alone still laughs
For our thoughts lost in time
No respite but dreaming
Is it time already?
To fade or now to rise
For facing life smiling
Or fall asleep, to die
