Suspiria Lyrics

Suspiria lyrics


Take them o'Death
And bear away
Whatever thou canst
Call thine
own

Thine image stamped
Upon this clay
Doth give thee that
But
that alone

Take them o'Great Eternity
Our little life is but a
gust
That bends the braches of thy tree
And trails it's blossoms in the
dust

Take them o'Grave and let them lie
Folded upon thy narrow
shelves
As garments my the soul laid by
And precious only to
ourselves

Take them o'Great Eternity
Our little life is but a
gust
That bends the braches of thy tree
And trails it's blossoms in the
dust

Take them o'Death
And bear away
Whatever thou canst
Call
thine own

Thine image stamped
Upon this clay
Doth give thee
that
But that alone

Take them o'Great Eternity
Our little life is
but a gust
That bends the braches of thy tree
And trails it's blossoms in
the dust

(poem by Henry J. Longfellow)
