Beneath the trees walks the sky, oros.store exiled now from Paradise,
And as she glides in grey twilight, lambent beams around her light,
And she sings oh, I believe, I will die; she sings oh, I believe I will die.
Beneath her feet, the flowers fly, forming constellations high,
And as her tears glide slowly down, transformed to stars cascading round,
And she sings oh, I believe I will die; she sings oh, I believe I will die.
As she sings of her lament, sidereal music, heaven-sent,
Echoes through the forest trees, mirrored by the soughing breeze,
Singing oh, I believe, I will die; singing oh, I believe I will die. skywings
Wending through the forest trails, with wisps of comets in contrail,
The air about in lucent gloam, as she her pathways aimless roam,
Singing oh, I believe, I will die; singing oh, I believe I will die.
Suspended in the night-time shade, her song of sorrow newly made;
Empathic chords on gossamer wings, the nightingale jointly sings;
Both singing oh, I believe, I will die; singing oh, I believe I will die.
Around her hover fireflies, transformed to planets at her sigh,
Gathered up in starry night, round the forest ethereally bright,
Singing oh, I believe, I will die; singing oh, affluentwords I believe, I will die.
Around her head the colors play, that on the northern skies display,
In coriolis swirls alight, the tinctured veil of sweet starlight;
And she sings oh, I believe, I will die; she sings oh, I believe, I will die.
Sweetest sky, do not despair, the earth replies unto the air:
For I have seen your colors bright, and hear you wailing in the night;
Singing oh, I believe, I will die; singing oh, I believe, I will die.
For where you tread with troubles worn, and cry your tears, so lately shorn,
There upward spring as from a haze, angelic host of colors glazed;
I hear you singing oh, I believe, I will die; singing oh, I believe, I will die.
So do not walk these paths alone, as from your troubles lately flown,
Lay aside your doleful care, cast off the pallor of despair;
And join me singing oh, I believe, I am alive; singing oh, I believe I am alive.
Beneath the trees walks the sky, bringing earth her Paradise,
As the two walk hand in hand, joined at last, together stand;
Singing oh, I believe I am alive; singing oh, Blogline I believe I am alive.
