Solitude Lyrics - Agathodaimon

One wish alone have I 

In some calm land beside the sea to die 

Upon its strand 

That I forever sleep 

The forest near, a heaven near 

Stretched over the peaceful deep 

That no one weeps my end 

Nor for me grieves 

But let the autumn lend 

Tongues to the leaves 

No candles shine 

Nor tomb I need, instead 

Let them for me a bed 

Or twigs entwine 

When brooklet ripples fall 

With murmuring sound 

And moon is found 

Among the pine trees tall 

While softly rings 

The wind it's trembling chime 

And over me the lime 

In blossem flings 

As I will then no more a wanderer be 

Let them with fondness store my memory 

And Lucifer the while 

Above the pine, good comrade mine 

Will on me gently smile? 

In mournful mood 

The sea sing sad refrain... 

And I be earth again 

In solitude
