Earth covers your gentle form
In verdant fields
Soul is reft from bodies
To my head I raise
A wreath of white flowers
And cry "Unhappiness"
My mournful valediction
I drink deep into your soul
Killed with hate
You died with love
The cry of my heart
The cry of my soul
Dreamless sleeper
Your face, the grave will change
Your blood poured
Liked your saviour's
I drink the midnight hymn
Under a serene sky Earth covers your gentle form In verdant fields Soul is reft from bodies To my head I raise A wreath of white flowers And cry "Unhappiness" My mournful valediction I drink deep into your soul Killed with hate You died with love The cry of my heart The cry of my soul Dreamless sleeper Your face, the grave will change Your blood poured Liked your saviour's I drink the midnight hymn Explain Request ×
