A dismal thought, sombre reflection

Return to haunt me day and night

I must leave, set on a journey

On a quest under a dim moonlight

I travel through light, through fire and ice

Through the molten rock onto the yonder side

Moon lights the garden by the shoreless sea

Twix the dark mountains heavenhigh

Where the melancholy trees grieve

Where the blue backwoods wail

In my eyes the autumn gloom still dwells

Born out of the paled sorrowed sky,

Poured out of the well of mourn

A stagnant tarn cannot refresh me

Nor can the murky pond bring me joy

As i glare into the deepest of waters

Into the swirling depths of eternal yearn

O' weeping nymph of the well,

The fair maiden of the fountain

Guide me wherein the sombre dwell

Whereto thy golden tears fell

Into the lofty lake long forgotten

The deep sea of silent mourn

There, a heavy heart is relieved,

All the burdens washed away

By the songs of the silent water

Melodies of the weary May

Awakened when all is lost into night

The blazing sun takes me into her lap

And laughs at me, mocks me with her light

Burning i fall into glaciers below

And there i drown in peace eternal,

Evertrapped in a melancholy rest

In the embrace of the cold depths,

I lie, released of mourn and sorrow
