Chill Me in the Night
Chill me in the night
When love's tempestuous
Hour has passed
And I have no cold rock
To lay my head upon in sleep
Chill me in the night
When the clamorous music of love
has ceased to sound about my heart
And my breath grows faint
From sucking in the poison of this earth
Let me fall
Into the tomb of night
From which no one awakes
Let me fall into
That gentle dream
Of sleep from which
I shall never rise
To shake my frail bones
Again
Chill me in the night
Without a lover by
My side and let
My blood run
Cold from the
From the fevered
Sleep of death.
