|
The frozen crypt is silent ...
|
As only a grave can be
|
Endless I live in vain
|
Roused from my funeral sleep
|
|
My untbriven vault is wide
|
Under the cold winterly sky
|
Drawn from the eternal dream
|
I already learn for death
|
|
Another wine flushes my veins
|
And drives me out my grave
|
My swaddling clothes are of black silk
|
And my cradle is made of stone
|
|
The gothic cemetery crypt
|
Kisses the scarlet lips of life
|
From thence I came hither again
|
For a silhouette through the unlight...
|
...From beyond the grave
|
|
La crypte froide est silencieuse
|
Comme seule peut l'etre une tombe
|
Sans fin j'existe en vain
|
Profanant mon sommeil funebre
|
|
Mon triste caveau s'ouvre a la vie
|
Sous un ciel d'hiver glacial
|
Arrache aux reves eternels
|
J'aspirais deja a la mort
|
|
Clad with a dress of mourning
|
A leaden beauty arose
|
Her silken hair lightly floating
|
She came beside my bed of stone
|
|
In a summoning charm
|
Made of divine progeny
|
She kissed me with saddened eyes
|
-"Follow me !" - I follow thee
|
|
You shall dwell here eternally
|
Between the dead and the living
|
|
To forever my funeral bride
|
