Drink the Midnight Hymn

Under a serene sky
Earth covers your gentle form
In verdant fields
Soul is reft of body

To my head I raise
A wreath of white flowers
And cry "unhappiness"
My mournful valediction
I drink deep into your soul

Dreamless sleeper
Your face the grave will change
Your blood poured
Like your saviour's
I drink the midnight hymn
