The Girl in the Anatomy Room

[Intro] [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 1] Now close my eyes forever, Now death doth come to me, May God thee strengthen ever, And comfort thou giv'st me. Why breaks not yet my heart, So heavy with despair? A death with lesser smart Were yet not so unfair. [Short Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] No more shall I behold The sun's radiant beam – Yet fare thee well, dear vale, My love's own cherished theme. There stand the ancient mountains, In snowy robes so white. No more shall I recount How dear thou wert to sight. [Short Instrumental Solo] [Verse 3] Farewell, my Danish heart, My whole, warm life adieu, The heavy pangs of youth, My sweetest pastime too. The stately beech by Hveen, To kiss Ibsen's red lips, Shall clasp the lion's limbs, To find fair England's deeps. [Short Instrumental Solo] [Verse 4] Farewell, ye sweetest memories, From love's delight you spring! In my heart thou dost hover, Thy tender kiss dost bring. O for thy love, my friend! I fought so long for thee. Now death lies close to me, Like snow 'round blossom's end. [Instrumental Arrangement] [Verse 5] Yet thoughts do follow me, Of hands with firmest grip, So many! Still my heart beats, With strength in every tip. Thus would I then have soared Through realms of sun's bright span, Yet only for to live, In fiery clouds' great plan. [Outro] [End]
