May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven

I find thy lilies there of snow
where once I died weeping for thee
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within
Falling for thee
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life Breed my woe
Descend with broken wings
Midwinternight inside
Merged by life like thousand
frozen tears
Come melt the ice maytime
