Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous My reality abandoned (I traverse afar) Not a care if I never wake
As a shadow is cast overhead I rejoice in the coming of the gloom Lifting my eyes to view what, to me, is beauty I decipher what is read in the cloud
is unassuaged by disconsulate tears I want for nothing, I live for nothing I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer Crestfallen
All tears restrained for years Their grief is confined Which destroys my mind An ode to their plight is this dirge Some yearn for lugubrious silence
