All alone in the dark
In nothingness so stark
Only burning candle flame
My warm mantle... Upon me came
The flickering flame
Seem to be warmth for me
But shall it stay or fade away?
Shall it stay with me for night and day?
As it dies I shall rise above land
A celestial bodie... My last stand
Nothing is everlasting here
Whole world - vast vanity fair
The flickering flame shall too die...
Bitter tears I weep... And cry myself to sleep...
