There is silence in the world
Since we didn't said farewell;
And your beauty with an alien speech
An alien tale would tell.
There is silence in the world,
Which is not peace nor quiet;
Nei; a golden heart
Ever I seek to flee therefrom,
While I belong with Thee,
And walk the ways of the riot.
But when I hear the music moan
In rooms of thronging laughter,
A serpent-tongued demon drives me forth,
And silence follows after.
