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!
I look upon myself and curse my fate
Shall I compare You to a winter day ?
Pull down Your vanity, I say pull down !
A world of made is not a world of born
I all alone beweep my outcast state
and my eternal spring it shall not fade
Some safer world in depths of wood embrace
The stars move still with sound of glace
And all he air a solemn stillness holds
My ear is much enarmoured of Your silent notes
What angel wakes me from my flowered bed ?
Oh, You have killed my sleeping fairy-land
I pray, You gentle mortal, sing again,
I'm wandering 'till truth makes all things plain
By moonshine did these lovers think no scorn
so stay but here awhile most radiantly
How glorious once above thy spear
and all the air
Heaven's matchless king does glance
methoughts he is here...
