I would chase the moons cold eye Into the bitterest day And I would watch the sun-dial And in it's shadow stay-. So don't let me be afraid. I would hear misfortune cry Out of it's virtuous face As I would watch the sun-dial And through it's darkness race.
The silver star of morning Blinks down a tear from the sky, The sun has now arisen The night closed it's watchful eye So don't let me be afraid
I would chase it's ancient time Into the perilons wastes And I would watch the sun-dial And in it's shadows wait So don't let me be afraid I would hear misfortunes cry Pay to it's warning no heed As I would watch the sun-dial My darkest thoughts are freed.
The silver star of morning Blinks down a tear from the sky, The sun has now arisen The night closed it's watchful eye So don't let me be afraid Don't let me be afraid
