The sky above the roof
Is calm and sweet
A tree above the roof

Bends in the heat

A bell from out the blue

Drowsily rings
A bird from out the blue
Plaintively sings


Ah God! A life is here,
Simple and fair

Murmurs of strife are here
Lost in the air


Why dost thou weep
O heart
Poured out in tears?

What hast thou done
O heart,
With thy spent years?
