Eleusis

I will not cease to hope, I am her mother, and she is my light
 I'll leave no path untrod no stone uncovered
 'til I find my flower bright
 I try to seek the truth to find an answer
 Maybe I held on far too tight?
 Maybe she slipped away and chose a lover
 As other girls do every night?
 I will not pass a door that I can open
 No fence too high, no service too lowly
 I wander many days and many nights, Hide my face behind my eyes
 I have found tenderness, I have found kindness
 Even so, it's just the same
 The women gather around to soothe my sorrow
 Try to make me smile, remind me that life is more than pain
 I hold a seed of hope that I will find her once again
 My precious maid
 And she will gather flowers and dance the meadow
 As always was, and always will be, once again
