lyrics

In Tenebris
By Thomas Hardy
“Percussus sum sicut foenum, et aruit cor meum.” —Ps. ci.
Fmaj7 Am7
Wintertime nighs;
Bb Am7
But my bereavement-pain
Bb Am7
It cannot bring again:
G
Twice no one dies.

Fmaj7 Am7
Flower-petals flee;
Bb Am7
But, since it once hath been,
Bb Am7
No more that severing scene
D
Can harrow me.

Am G F
Birds faint in dread:
G Am
I shall not lose old strength
Am G F
In the lone frost's black length:
G E7
Strength long since fled!

F G Am
Leaves freeze to dun;
C G
But friends can not turn cold
C G
This season as of old
E7
For him with none.

Tempests may scath;
But love can not make smart
Again this year his heart
Who no heart hath.

Black is night's cope;
But death will not appal
One who, past doubtings all,
Waits in unhope.
