Chapter I The feeble leafs decline, Enshrined in downing deep The mourn abandoned plains, Laid down in sombre sleep Misty shades engulf the sky Like past, worn memories The bird's song fills the whispering breeze With autumns melody The lunar pale grim shape At evening's sight renews It's silented wail relieves Repressed thoughts anew I hear the lonesome choir Of fortunes past my way Disdained in fiery weeps Throughout my every day These skies I hail and treasure thee, Most pleasant misery Not pittes thorn I shelter thine Mysterious harmony Draw on most pleasant night Shade my lorn exposed sight For my grief's when shadows told Shall be eased in mist enfold Why should the foolish's hope Thy unborn passioned cry Exhaust unheard Beneath this pleasent sky? For if the dusking day declined Could delight be far behind? 3. Chapter II Sengi amoris A mere passions fraud disgraced and to disgrace, In pacis quentis, With bewitched charm seduced my every days Begone my burdened past, wont's these treasured Dreams be freed from your bounds at last? Tvemor inogeng Makes the truth dilute the mirrage last Osculum pudens Makes my shattered present caught My buried past lured into my angers bed I pured my raging lust And touched these fairy eyes instead 4. Chapter III Eil mein gramgebeugt Klagelied Klim empor entiflieh der Brust die dich gebo ren. Am Cage wohlverwahrt Dem Craumer offenbart Ward deinem Klang, des Herzens Kenntis gtets verwehrt Magst dereingst kugh gereift Dem Geist der leis begreift Mit holdem Drang der Seele Wagh entziegn 5. Chapter IV The leafs and I entangled dance a harmonie I dare not stain with vain delight And thus embraced we roam the passing eve like a pillgrim who craves a shelters guiding light I question thee, beloved night to calm my joy so that I not like the weary leaves be strewed For I submitt to thy solitary grace (as) even springs life is by winters gaze subdued Lost in a dream I beheld a maiden dance And when she sat down by a sliver stream Plunging her feet in the shallow waves A mist descended, kissed her and fled And all that's before been just and fair Shattered in a rain of crystal shards Each of them a cry, a dream, a tear Nunquam submergiove aut diffugo Ira inflammata mea vita ad salutem nominarit Et solitudo meurn robur Everlasting be the war that I declare Extinguished thy bewitched spark despair Torched the pile upon which you Are gathered (still) poisoning my weary heart And as the forked fires tongue licks high I won't lament thy fall But dance around the burning branches urged by furys call And I again shall not be humble slaves but king to thee Dreams on the barren field did lay strewed Spread their wings rise up with solemn hope imbued Ascend the stary stairs into a plain but dear refuge. 6. Chapter V Many a weary night endured Since the utter charm of joy has pured My unquiet dreams, my misery How sweat if I could share with thee Unable to endure it's smile Which kindly eased my sombre veil I frightened turned my burdened head And hid in slumbers shade instead But lifted from my mournful rest Was I by thee nocturnal guest When though did vow to suffocate My tranquil dreams in thrones bed You spoke to me with loathed glow And thus have though not kept thy vow For when thy shadow sprang on me I closed my eyes in ecstasy 7. Chapter VI Unveil yours eyes, see the special moon gone Leaving not a single ray of joy to rest upon Feast on those that crave thy kiss with a ghastly wail Behold them cry as their faces innocence grows pale Tempt them into approaching your obscure neglect Until on your detesting laugh their hopes get wrecked Praise this rage and the only eyes will see Thy love abandoned mirrors image, thy only company 8. Chapter VII As the stars like ludicrous fauns, Join the grim reapers dionystic glance We step forward together with the pale withered spring And join the pipings of their sombre dance 9. Chapter VIII [Instrumental] 10. Chapter IX The Dawn arose, the slumbers shadows have passed The autumnal grace which so kindly has cast It's sombre yet gracious delight on my grief Enshrouded and lulled by the winters far deeper relief As weary my days will grow from leisure apart I shall wait for your powers renewed I pray to whatever there be "Let be my heard by your tenderness again imbued." Cura a die renovato cedit Dolor et laetitia conjungtus est Delightful shade was all that I dared hope for Thy silent charm alone remains to adore.
