Pray ye, pray! for Summer lies
Dead, upon the icy ground;
Heap for her a snow-white mound,
While the winter wind replies:
Crosses wave,
Souls to save,
Chant a requiem o’er her grave.
Sweetly, through the low, sad murmur
Of the fir-trees’ requiem,
Pray ye, pray! for Summer lies
Dead, upon the icy ground;
Heap for her a snow-white mound,
While the winter wind replies:
Crosses wave,
Souls to save,
Chant a requiem o’er her grave.
Sweetly, through the low, sad murmur
Of the fir-trees’ requiem,
