Labyrinthine pathways Follow the serpentine course of the river Verdant trails above spirits Where the secrets of language linger As a boy I wandered and by the sounds of pipes enchanted My sylvan home - where the roots of my youth were planted ♪ I hear the wooden floors - now as before The sound of the ones I left at my old cabin door ♪ Sylvan kingdom, serene majesty A love endured by the moons gleam Vigil reverie awaiting the dawn Now through death our spirits live on ♪ It was here I cared for the animals And tended the gardens needs ♪ Basked in the sunlit meadow And gazed through the light in the leaves
Not one of them remains in this silent hall Here where I sleep until all ages fall
