The mystery of life The mystery of death I see Darkly as in a glass Their shadows pass And talk with me As waters that drop and drop That drop and never stop Till one day they drop Stop And there's an end As Wind with a sob and sigh To which there comes no reply But a rustle and shiver Rushes of the river As Wind with a desolate moan Moaning on alone As the sea Murmuring shifting swaying One time sunnily playing One time wrecking and slaying Whichever mood it be Worst or best Never at rest As still waters and deep As shallow waters that brawl As rapid waters that leap To their fall As music as color as shape Keys of rapture and pain Turning in vain In a lock which turns not again While breaths and moments escape While breaths and moments escape The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask for what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask for what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask for what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask for what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask for what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask for what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep You must ask for what you really want Don't go back to sleep People are going back and forth across the doorsill Where the two worlds touch The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep
