read this book and fell totally in love with it. nora roberts is really good. somehow she manages to integrate fairytales into the modern world of harsh reality. i mean it is definitely impossible, whatever's happening in the book. but it somehow 'seems' possible. the fact that its contained in one small town, one house, one love, two lifetimes. wow. :) the song below is a waltz. from the book that played when abigail and lucian fell in love in their first waltz and is remembered by declan (who's supposed to be abigail in his past life) and lena (who's supposed to be lucian in her past life).
AFTER THE BALL
A little maiden climbed an old man’s knees—
Begged for a story: "Do uncle, please!
Why are you single, why live alone?
Have you no babies, have you no home?"
"I had a sweetheart, years, years ago,
Where she is now, pet, you will soon know;
List to the story, I’ll tell it all:
I believed her faithless after the ball.“
”Bright lights were flashing in the grand ballroom,
Softly the music playing sweet tunes.
There came my sweetheart, my love, my own,
‘I wish some water; leave me alone.’
When I returned, dear, there stood a man
Kissing my sweetheart as lovers can.
Down fell the glass, pet, broken, that’s all—
Just as my heart was after the ball.“
”Long years have passed, child, I have never wed,
True to my lost love though she is dead.
She tried to tell me, tried to explain—
I would not listen, pleadings were vain.
One day a letter came from that man;
He was her brother, the letter ran.
That’s why I’m lonely, no home at all—
I broke her heart, pet, after the ball."
Chorus:
After the ball is over, after the break of morn,
After the dancers' leaving, after the stars are gone,
Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all—
Source: Many the hopes that have vanished after the ball.
