My arms are round you, and I leanAgainst you, while the larkSings over us, and golden lights, and greenShadows are on your bark.There’ll come a season when you’ll stretchBlack boards to cover me:Then in Mount Jerome I will lie, poor wretch,With worms eternally.

My arms are round you, and I lean

Against you, while the lark

Sings over us, and golden lights, and green

Shadows are on your bark.

There’ll come a season when you’ll stretchBlack boards to cover me:Then in Mount Jerome I will lie, poor wretch,With worms eternally.

There’ll come a season when you’ll stretch

Black boards to cover me:

Then in Mount Jerome I will lie, poor wretch,

With worms eternally.
