II Songtext
von Axel Thesleff

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In Death′s dream kingdom
These do not appear
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column


There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind's singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star

Let me be no nearer
In Death′s dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer

Not that final meeting


In the twilight kingdom
