Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Mine head upon thy lap, love, let me lie
I am wounded and without thee I shall die
Love me and love me, love, till I am well
Gabriel
Turn on me sweetly till my soul have ease
Thine evening eyes that seem to bring forth peace
Wherefore the tender years are quick to quell
Gabriel
ย
Ah, for an everlasting afternoon
Lift not thine eyes lest sunset come too soon
With the long tolling of the vesper bell
Gabriel
ย
The sweet slow sleepy solemn sounds that seem
Like incantations half heard in a dream
Or sad-eyed sirens singing some strange sea spell
Gabriel
Sing me to sleep while the long shadows wane
Sing to me the songs of childhood come again
With thy sweet eyes that all ill thoughts repel
Gabriel
ย
In blessing lay thine hands upon my head
Ah, would that with the sunset I were dead
Having lived for one sweet hour too sweet to tell
Gabriel
Having lived for one sweet hour too sweet to tell
Gabriel
Having lived for one sweet hour too sweet to tell
Gabriel
ย
Living no longer than the lingering light
Seeing thy sweet eyes slowly sink from sight
While the slant shadows sound my dying knell
Gabriel
While the slant shadows sound my dying knell
ย
