On Withering Lands

Sombre knower of formidable secrets
On the hollow verge of forgotten ditches
Numb leaves beneath the bushes
Silenceperfume over the frontier of the village

Vast troops departing again
On withering lands
Vast troops departing again
And mighty is Death!

Sombre knower of formidable secrets
On the hollow verge of forgotten ditches

Vast troops departing again
On withering lands
Vast troops departing again
And mighty is Death!
