There's a stubble field
On which a black rain falls...
There is a tree which, brown, stands lonely here...
There's a hissing wind
Which haunts deserted huts...
How sad, this evening

Past the village pond
The gentle orphan,
Returning home
Still gathers scanty ears of corn:
Golden and round.
Her eyes are gazing in the dusk
And her throbbing lap awaits the bridegroom...

Returning home!

Shepherds found the sweet body
Decayed in the bramble bush.
A shade: I am remote from sombre hamlets
I drank from the woodland well
The silence of God!
<X2>

I can feel the touch of cold steel.
Spiders look for my heart.
There is a light that fails in my mouth...

On my forehead cold metal forms.
Spiders look for my heart.
There is a light that fails in my mouth...

On my forehead cold metal forms.
Spiders look for my heart.
There is a light that fails in my mouth...
<X2>
I drank from the woodland well
The silence of God!
