Thy soul shall find itself alone 'mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone Not one, of all the crowd, to pry Into thine hour of secrecy:
Be silent in that solitude Which is not loneliness - for then The spirits of the dead who stood In life before three, are again In death around three - and their will Shall overshadow thee: be still
The night - though clear - shall frown - And the stars shall look not down From their high thrones in the heaven With light like hope to mortals given -
But their red-orbs, without beam To thy weariness shall seem As a burning and a fever Which would cling to thee forever
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish - Now are visions ne'er to vanish - From thy spirit shall they pass No more - like dew-drops from the grass
The breeze - the breath of God - is still And the mist upon the hill Shadowy - shadowy - yet unbroken Is a symbol and a token - How it hangs upon the trees A mystery of mysteries!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
