• Nightingale's Lament

Oh tell me, dear nightingale
Why do you sigh?
Deep in the woods, when the day turns to night
Our bones are so weary, our tears they yet run
We linger in shadows, but we long for the sun.

Oh ask me, dear nightingale
Why do I cry?
Why do I weep, when the darkness is nigh?
Our hearts beat the same, but my hands are all red
How long must I sing for the souls of the dead?

Oh come, my dear nightingale
Come back to me
Some may be blind, but I know that you see
When the sky is on fire, the ground stirs and shakes
I’ll miss your sweet sorrow song, each heartbeat will ache.

Oh fly, my dear nightingale
Fly, far away
And may you find comfort in the Maker, I pray
To laugh and to dance in your new ruby shoes
To love and to live, in the world made anew.
