The story of Ayden and Adele " part 3

Last farewell

-The cry of the battlefield-

 

Adele

O thou hast gone and I am still here.

O thou hast gone for the duty for thy King

and for the sake of thy soul.

 

The wind has brought news from the battlefield,

O thy West wind, have thou seen Ayden?

 

Empty battlefields, echoes of crying of those

lost souls! I am prisoner of my own thoughts,

it is my heart’s desire to seek you.

 

I cry, I cry; thou art in my thoughts, in my dreams.

‘There’s no salvation for me, until I find you!’

 

O thou hast gone and so shall I be too.

From the dark corners of my lonely prison

to the isolated moors of thy battlefield.

 

I will seek thou and I will not rest until I find you.

O what comes with the East wind? The horrors of

war, the ground is dead cause of all that bloodshed!

 

Ayden

So it was our last farewell my love, now I know it.

A week ago I was still happy, but now all is gone!

My promise to you, ‘I will come back to you’, and

my love, she is far away.

 

Her golden hair, more bright to me than the sun has ever been.

O thou art far away, my love, and soon I will not be here!

The battlefield is silent now, it is deathly quiet.

 

O I shall be at death’s door but if I could hold my dear

Adele in my arms, it would be fulfillment!

 

-Adele comes-

 

Ayden

‘O my love, my love thou did come!’

 

Adele

I cast myself at his feet.

‘O my love, dear Ayden, finally I found thou!

There is no hope I see, O how awful, what

a wrongdoing!’

 

Ayden

‘Now hush my love, please do not cry. You will be

here in my arms. Thou art always mine, more dear

to me than this land has ever been!’

 

Adele

‘If thou must go, then I will follow thou!

If it is the God’s will, I will follow the lonely

paths of unknown!’

 

I kissed his forehead and his closed eyelids.

I smoothed his dark curly hair and my hands

were red from his blood.

 

‘O thou has gone and I am still here’,

‘O thou has gone my dear Ayden and so shall I be!’

 

I released his faithful horse, ‘Thou go now and be free

devoted friend, thou go now and remember us!’

 

I wandered far and my mind was gloomy, my soul in agony!

I wrote a note, one word only

‘Fate’

This shall be my last word to you!

 

I found what I was looking for and I returned to my love.

 

‘For the sake of thus love I will sacrifice my salvation! This is

my last meal and gladly I will be with thou!’

 

The wind has brought news from the battlefield,

‘have thou seen Ayden the bold?’

‘Have thou seen Adele the fair?’
