Do you hear the low winds singing,
And streams singing on their bed? --
Very distant bells are ringing
In a chapel for the dead: --
Death-pale better than life-red.

Mother, come to me in rest,
And bring little May to see. --
Shall I bid no other guest? --
Seven slow nights have passed away
Over my forgotten clay:
None must come save you and she.
