I bowed my head in anguish sore
When Life made Death his bride;
Soul, we are lost forever more!
Unto my soul I cried.
Nay, waste in wailing not thy breath,
My soul replied to me,
Behold! The child of Life and Death
Is Immortality!
I bowed my head in anguish sore
When Life made Death his bride;
Soul, we are lost forever more!
Unto my soul I cried.
Nay, waste in wailing not thy breath,
My soul replied to me,
Behold! The child of Life and Death
Is Immortality!
