All our days are dead,
love lies burnt,
the last word is read,
the last lesson learnt.

Hopes have been banished
unfulfilled;
dreams all have vanished;
it came not as we willed.

There is left no song now
that is worth the singing;
there is left no thing now
worth the doing.

Turn where we may,
despair lies deep;
let us end this day,
come, let us sleep.
