In a coppice I am singing

Unhappy is the song of mine

Sorrowful Sylvan Fay

Is dying of love

So I am grieving for love

I wish I was mortal

But I have to live eternally

And crying through the nights

Lonesomeness is a quiet fellow

Only friar's lanterns are emiting light

And your picture is deliquescing

In murky depths

Oh, you lost Love

I jumble softly in a thicket

And than I tilt my nape

Onto a soft moss I alight

With the same wish steadily

In a coppice I am singing

Unhappy is the song of mine

Sorrowful Sylvan Fay

Is dying of love
