And may moon shall rise... And lead me into the cold embrace of the night Here we in our grief Drown in an absence light Here is no shelter; No escape from our heart Entwined in this embrace I fear and bemourn to depart
the shadows fall, And the sun sets in us all...
Just silent hopes remain the aching grief That grows into a bottomless vale I fall Oh, I give myself away...
Far away! To this dim misty place My heart reflects the night...
Languid moonshine I my skin in thee O may beauty be revealed in me Silent winds, whisper to me Thy songs of solitude and joy...
