Sufjan Stevens - For The Widows In Paradise; For The Fatherless In lyrics

Come, oh, songs! come, oh, dreams!

Soft the gates of day close,

Sleep, my birds, sleep, streams!

Sleep, my wild rose!

Pool and bud, hill and deep,

You who wore my robes, sleep!

Droop, East! die, West!

Let my land rest.

Woods, I woke your boughs!

Hills, I woke your elf-throngs!

Land, All thy hopes and woes

Rang from me in songs!

Come, oh, songs! come, oh,dreams!

In our house is deep rest,

Through the pines gleams, gleams,

Bright the gold West,

There the flutes shall cry,

There the viols weep,

Laugh, my dreams, and sigh!

Sing, and vigil keep,

Call to them that sleep,

Call to them that sleep
