O WHAT to me the little room | |
That was brimmed up with prayer and rest; | |
He bade me out into the gloom, | |
And my breast lies upon his breast. | |
|
O what to me my mother’s care, | 5 |
The house where I was safe and warm; | |
The shadowy blossom of my hair | |
Will hide us from the bitter storm. | |
|
O hiding hair and dewy eyes, | |
I am no more with life and death, | 10 |
My heart upon his warm heart lies, | |
My breath is mixed into his breath. |
