If Ever You Would Leave Me

  
By: Shiral
Posted: February 25, 2000

 
Kelson sings to Rothana:

If ever you would leave me,
It couldn’t be this summer,
Seeing you in summer, I’d never know how,
To cut you from my heart,
Or send you away,
Not even my cousin
Should tear us apart.

But if I let you leave me
You mustn’t go in Autumn.
How could I endure Autumn if you’re not with me?
You know how my council
Throws brides at my head,
I need you in Autumn,
So please stay instead.

And could you leave Rhemuth on a snowy winter’s morn?
While I stand by a burning Yule fire lonely and forlorn?

If ever you could leave me,
Oh, please don’t go in springtime,
Knowing how in spring I’m bewitch’d by you so?
I love you in springtime,
Summer winter and fall,
My Queen, don’t ever leave me at all!


(Kelson starts toward Rothana as if to embrace her. She gives him a
sorrowful look but still turns away from him.)
    

Rothana: Please don't, Kelson.

Kelson sings:

If ever you could leave me,
How can you leave in Springtime,
Knowing how in spring I’m bewitched by you so?
I love you in Springtime,
Summer winter and fall
How can you think of leaving at all?
