lyrics

Thou art my love
and thou art the peace of sundown
when the blue shadows soothe and the grasses and the leaves sleep to the song of the little brooks
woe is me!

Thou art my love
and thou art a storm that breaks black in the sky and sweeping headlong drenches and cowers each tree and at the panting end there is no sound save for the melancholy cry of a single owl
woe is me!

thou art my love
and thou art a wary violet
drooping from sun caresses, answering mine carelessly
woe is me

thou art my love
and thou art the ashes of other men's love
and I bury my face in these ashes and I love them
woe is me.

thou art my love
and thou art a temple and in this temple is an altar and on this altar is my heart
woe is me.

ah, g-d, the way your little finger moved as you thrust a bare arm backward
and made play with your hair, and a comb, a silly gilt comb
ah, g-d, that I should suffer so much because of the way a little finger moved

Thou art my love
and thou art death - aye, thou art death!
black and yet black!
but I love thee!
I love thee!
woah, woah, woah
welcome woe to me.
woe is me!
