I. IT is dark in the sky, / And silence is where / Our laughs rang high; / And recall do I / That One is out there.
II. The dawn is not nigh, / And the trees are bare, / And the waterways sigh / That a year has drawn by, / And Two are out there.
III. The wind drops to die / Like the phantom of Care / Too frail for a cry, / And heart brings to eye / That Three are out there.
IV. This Life runs dry / That once ran rare / And rosy in dye, / And fleet the days fly, / And Four are out there.
V. Tired, tired am I / Of this earthly air, / And my wraith asks: Why, / Since these calm lie, / Are not Five out there?
