The antelope hops,

Away with my dreams.

To catch it,

Impossible, it seems.

The antelope hops,

Away with my peace.

Exposing me

to the deepest abyss.

The antelope hops,

Away with my joy.

Is this just another

Lady Despair’s ploy?

The antelope hops.

Away with my hopes,

Without them, I would die.

The antelope knows.
