Meagre trees in the shrouds,
as olde as the stones
Mourners of abandon?d love,
fornever their woes shall grow silent

O how many times may the moon has shone -
reflected in these black lakes?
Should it be that we can hear,
the woes of those who ceased their lifes?

O so old they are
they bare the neverending grief
Age-old miserability
Ancient bitter beauty

Lost is the hope of those,
who walk the moors with pain in heart
and all joy it sinks,
burried deep, forever presumed dead

O so old they are
they bare the neverending grief
Age - old miserability,
a bitter beauty thrilling me
