The birds love in the shade 

Sweet smiles the night 

All creations slept and smiled 

...never will it be! 



Give me light, give me pride, beam on me 



Away the vapour flew 

Shining beams of love 

Sweet dreams, pleasent beams 

But I'm bereaved of light 



Give me light, give me pride, beam on me 



Angels in the sky, the give me light 

They beam forth brightness on a darkened world 

A holy angel, he guards my bed 

Reach me your mighty hand! 

I can't choose but grief destroy 



The birds in the shade 

Sweet smiles the night 

All creations slept and smiled 

...never will it be! 



I gave my heart away 

Weeping tears on infant's tear 

Sweet dreams form a shade 

Happy silent moony beams! 



My heart is crushed It's lying there and growing cold Summer's sunset falls Sunlight flees away and dews of night arise Rainy autumn moves my heart Flowers welking welk my joy Clouds come rolling over they depress me, overrun me They overshadow my heart Autumn comes apace, a last warm glance sighing to me Now grey vails between the earth and sea Birdless branches in the wind Leaves they found their death in coldness Naked trees in the frost of night yearning for the sun again and again Waters laying still in transparent fog Lakes of blue covered with ice to sleep their winter-sleep
