Who departed the garden, who?
Who departed the garden, bearing silences?
Who departed the garden, bearing silences?
Each bud, each bud, each bud, has writhed, taking sobs.
Each bud has writhed, taking sobs.
Those who watched, my drowning,
Those who watched my drowning,
Those who watched my drowning,
Now search for me, launching their boats.
Now search for me, launching their boats.
Each bud has writhed, taking sobs.
Do not remove my shroud,
Do not remove my shroud,
Lest the world should see.
Do not remove my shroud,
Lest the world should see.
I have slept, I have slept, I have slept,
I have slept, I have slept,
Bearing your traces with me in slumber.
Bearing your traces with me in slumber.
Each bud has writhed, taking sobs.
Those who, night and day,
Those who, night and day,
Those who, night and day,
Wished for my death,
Those who, night and day,
Wished for my death,
Now weep, they weep,
Those who, night and day,
Wished for my death,
Now weep, they weep,
At my funeral, bearing sobs.
Now weep, they weep,
At my funeral, bearing sobs.
Those who, night and day,
Wished for my death,
Now weep at my funeral, bearing sobs.
Now weep, they weep,
At my funeral, bearing sobs.
Each bud has writhed, taking sobs.
