With loving passion, oh your radiance   A serenade I cry   Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory   To hold a mourner's tears      Ethereal splendor   Pale skin and down cast eyes   Scent of paradise   Like her, forever remains unknown      Through tear stained eyes   My view is growing weaker   Please help my grief be vanquished   Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery   Impale my on your thorns      Celestial splendor   Pale skin and down cast eyes   Farewell autumn kisses   Like her, forever remains unknown      I loved her ... but now she's gone   (It's so hard to face)   Overcoming ... tender reckoning      If I too depart the earth   I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope      Heavenly grace with which to ease   the virgin's tears
