-
Where rainbows climb the skies on fervent wings,
the eye of heaven high above the seas,
-
Across the lonely shore and star-lit vale,
night beckons full of sorrowful dismay,
-
High on the cliffs the castle's ruins stand,
where grasses blanch beneath the untamed sun,
-
When darkness serenades the ebon night,
she swoons and pales, his kiss upon her lips,
-
It isn't time to say our last goodbyes,
without your love my heart will surely break,
-
Oh, night descends and darkness fills the sky,
the north wind blows a cheerless, haunting dirge,
-
Where isolation grows with every breath,
a sleepless world survives and tells a tale
-
The night owl wakes and dark the sheltered sea,
where strays the moonlight o'er the golden sand,
-
Oh, drowsy night its time for you to wake,
and bid the stars to open their clear eyes,
-
The surf swept up the headland with a roar,
how joyously it raced up to the land,
-
Oh, colder than the mountains and the seas,
the stars that serenade the dusky skies,
-
The trees, the houses, all the leafy lanes
lay buried, not a road or bird or park,
-
Sweet Spring! Embrace the woodlands and the streams
with your soft kiss, awake and greet the dawn,
-
I searched for you deep in the forest
and hoped you'd come back to me soon,
-
The night descended, darkness filled the sky,
across the land, across the distant sea,
-
The ivy climbs the walls, it inches near,
it clings and hangs so like a well-cut dress.
-
The winter sings a song of ice and frost,
a sad lament that wakes the sleeping land,
-
How sweetly short the day, how carelessly
it bends to northern winds that gust and blow;
-
Oh, Winter pines for love and distant shores,
for far horizons, colder than her kiss
-
Your kiss! The light that drives the night away,
the stars of heaven tremble in the sky,
-
Here where a dark moon rests amid the sky
and brooding waves storm in along the shore,
-
Oh, when the moon is shining cold and bright
and silver stars adorn the cloudless skies,
-
Oh, where the thirsty north wind gusts and blows
and shakes the early mists from morning's cloak;
-
The sunlight strengthens through the icy dawn,
her frozen limbs are dressed in clouds of frost,
-
Long gone soft dusk, a silver moon climbs high
fed by bright night that serenades the trees
-
The melancholy river sings to me
a song of sadness in the dusky vales,
-
So even from the depths of raging clouds
that sweep like foaming waves on stormy seas,
-
Oh, darkness calls and eerie, brooding night,
While earth is still, there's hardly any breeze,
-
The sun sets in the west, day quickly pales,
A crimson sunset on the distant hills,
-
The starry sky is filled with silver light,
Seduced by an enchanting mellow moon,
-
Sweet dreams! The sky breathes deeply and I swoon,
Beneath the tapestry of silver stars
-
The world is silent, there's no earthly cry,
While shadows sleep and shorten with the dawn,
-
The sun fades to an
orange ball on the horizon.
-
The whisper of the wind around the dale,
A haunting night that mellows and then dies,
-
Oh, melancholy muses in the night,
While cold temptation waits behind a rock
