Charles Ives - The Song of the Dead lyrics
[Charles Ives - The Song of the Dead lyrics]
Hear now the Song of the Dead - in
The North by the torn berg-edges -
They that look still to the Pole
Asleep by their hide-stripped sledges
Song of the Dead in the South -
In the dust of the sere river-courses
Song of the Dead in the East
- in the heat-rotted jungle-hollows
Song of the Dead in the West in the Barrens
The snow that betrayed thеm
The grave-rnound they madе them
Hear now the Song of the Dead!
The North by the torn berg-edges -
They that look still to the Pole
Asleep by their hide-stripped sledges
Song of the Dead in the South -
In the dust of the sere river-courses
Song of the Dead in the East
- in the heat-rotted jungle-hollows
Song of the Dead in the West in the Barrens
The snow that betrayed thеm
The grave-rnound they madе them
Hear now the Song of the Dead!
