I would chase the moons cold eye Into the bitterest day And I would watch the sun-dial And in its shadow stay So don´t let me be afraid
I would hear misfortunes cry Out of its virtuos face And I would watch the sun-dial And through its darkness race
The silver star of morning Blinks down a tear from the sky The sun has now arisen The night closed its watchful eye So don´t let me be afraid
I would chase its ancient time Into the perilous wastes And I would watch the sun-dial And in its shadows wait So don´t let me be afraid I would hear misfortunes cry Pay to its warning no heed
As I would watch the sun-dial My darkest thoughts were freed
The silver star of morning Blinks down a tear from the sky The sun has now arisen The night closed its watchful eye So don´t let me be afraid Don´t let me be afraid
