LYRIC IN GLOOM
Knights and ladies all are dead,
Heigh-ho! so am I!
Now the sunset falls like lead,
Never a star is in the sky.
Near or far,
Never a star!
Knights and ladies all are dead.
Heigh-ho! so am I!
We shall never be born again!
Heigh-ho! why should we?
Jesus, first and last of men,
Christ I crucified in me.
Near or far,
Never a star!
We shall never be born again,
Heigh-ho! why should we?
