Alive, Asleep

歌詞

Sleep brings no joy to me Remembrance never dies My soul is given to misery And lives in sighs Sleep brings no rest to me The shadows of the dead My waking eyes may never see Surround my bed Sleep brings no hope to me In soundest sleep they come And with their doleful imagery Deepen the gloom Sleep brings no strength to me No power renewed to brave I only sail a wilder sea A darker wave Sleep brings no friend to me To soothe and aid to bear They all gaze, oh, how scornfully And I despair Sleep brings no wish to knit My harassed heart beneath My only wish is to forget In the sleep of death.
