Leaves by night and day Webs with colours gray But she still delights Mirrors magic sights
When the moon was overhead The red-crossed knight forever kneeled Like the branch of stars we see She loosed the chain, down she lay The broud stream brought her far away I am part of all she met
Rivers drowning lands Gleams untravelling hands Wandering if I might From morn to night
'Cause I grew both deaf and blind Damned to win, unskilled to find Dark shores no ship's ever seen
The leaves upon her falling light Ere she reached upon the tide Singing in her song she died
Hold me - to reach heaven from hell Leave me - from cold eyes farewell Hold me - in sounds royal cheer Leave me - leave my palace here
When we fall, when we fall Below cold thunder's upper deep When we fall, when we fall Her eyes so hard beneath the sea When we fall, when we fall Subdue me to the useful good When we fall, when we fall To drown in sadness'brotherhood
