Show thine fair visage
For the days are gray
And dismal the trees
As they bend to the wind...
That draw a painted veil
And obscure the winding path
The chains of earthly days
That bind us to the ground
O'er this body so frail
Unable to keep the faith
And the chill creeps through
It freezes the night
The fates they do tear me away
I dearly want to stay
For the days are gray
And dismal the trees
As they bend to the wind...
Let me hear thine gentle voice
Through these swirling mistsThat draw a painted veil
And obscure the winding path
Talk to me in tender tones
Of love that lives beyondThe chains of earthly days
That bind us to the ground
Breathe your life giving breath
The perfumed kiss of lifeO'er this body so frail
Unable to keep the faith
Touch me with your burning thoughts
For the hearth is coldAnd the chill creeps through
It freezes the night
Hold me in your tender embrace
I fear I have to goThe fates they do tear me away
I dearly want to stay
