This is a fearful thing to bear,
That oft to me it seems
I have thine eyes and hair.
Then, helpless, my hands supplicate,
Even as thine own,
And my lips curse me in hate,
And moan.
Thou comest over me so every evening late.
Twin carrion birds
Then o'er the churchyard fly.
That oft to me it seems
I have thine eyes and hair.
Then, helpless, my hands supplicate,
Even as thine own,
And my lips curse me in hate,
And moan.
Thou comest over me so every evening late.
Twin carrion birds
Then o'er the churchyard fly.
