Through midnight dumb, and branches dense.
Myriad of stars I see and sense.
I hear my heart's the dreamless voice.
Should make I now the painful choice.

Oh, easy, so,
And I can go,
Through branches dense and darkest night,
Should go through Death,
I stop my breath,
Shall win I now this fatal fight.

Oh, speed along, Thou, rapid Brook!
Incline Thy head, Thou, lovely Flower!
And, where art Thou? I'm here! Look!
I'm here, Death, with deathless Power!

Through branches dense and darkest night,
Shall win I now this fatal fight.

Through midnight dumb and branches dense,
Through Life and Death, through their fence,
Like centuries come and pass away.
And they in Grave forever lay.

Oh, easy, so,
And I can go,
Through branches dense and darkest night,
Should go through Death,
I stop my breath,
Shall win I now this fatal fight.

Oh, speed along, Thou, rapid Brook!
Incline Thy head, Thou, lovely Flower!
And, where art Thou? I'm here! Look!
I'm here, Death, with deathless Power!

Through branches dense and darkest night,
Shall win I now this fatal fight.

Through midnight dumb, and branches dense.
Myriad of stars I see and sense…
