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! 



Long time ago my work began 

Completed now, when I'm a man 

I drunk the wine of paradise 

Much force I gained with many sighs 



"Now You cease away, You come to me 

You leave Your world with grim and cry out loud" 



I really know the uses of the world 

The voice I always hear, be ever heard! 



I won't stop here, but gently pass 

I will sink ere night be passed 

I happy child of earth was I 

bright as a star in our skies! 



Cold astral stars, eternity 

Now there may come new days to me 

Now motionless like bleeding ice 

I sing like wind short lives and dies 

Short lives and dies!
