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!
Once I wrote her name upon the sand,
but came a wave and washed it away
Again I wrote it with a second hand
but came a tide, made my plans prey
Who so list to think, I know where is a sign
I am of them but furthest come behind
Yet may I, by no means, my wearied mind
draw from my thoughts, but as they flee
ashore, fainting I follow, I leave off
therefore, since in a net I seek to hold
the wind
The sweet season, that bud and bloom
forth brings
The summer has come, for every spray
now springs
With green had clad with hill and ehe
the vale
The nightingale with feathers new
the sings
"Vain man", she said, "that dost in vain
assay, a mortal name so to immortalize,
for I myself shall like to this decay
and ehe my name be wiped out likewise"
