THE KING SAT IN HIS CASTLE - ALL BY HIMSELF

NO BIRDS, NO SERVANTS, HE COULD HEAR NO SOUND

CAPTURED ON HIS THRONE



SELF CONTEMPTED, SELF DENIAL

AFTER HE SOWED THE SEEDS

OF HIS MOURNING

HIS PEOPLE FEEL IT TOO



A WALL ROUND HIS GARDEN ONCE

IS NOW GROWING AROUND HIS RELM

IF HE SAW HIS REFLECTION HED BE FREED FROM THOSE

WHO KNEEL DOWN BEFORE HIM



ALL HIS ICY WORDS, MENT ITS ABOUT TIME

TO CALL BACK THE BIRDS HE ONCE SENT OUT

TOO MANY THINGS IN THESE AUGUST SURROUNDINGS

NO CHANCE TO ESCAPE - ONLY A DREAM

ONLY ADREAM - ONLY A DREAM



ALL HIS ICY WORDS, MENT ITS ABOUT TIME

TO CALL BACK THE BIRDS HE ONCE SENT OUT

TOO MANY NIGHTS IN THESE AUGUST SURROUNDINGS

THE LIGHT OF THE CANDLES CASTS THE SHADOW



THE HEDGES DOW GROW THICKLY IN THE AIR

HIS CROWN LEFT AT THE END OF THE HALL

A FLOWER AT THE THIRD KALLEM

THE LIGHT OF THE CANDLES CASTS THE SHADOW...
