Requiescat
Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
Lilly-like, white as snow,
Lilly-like, white as snow,
She hardly knew
She hardly knew
She was a woman, so
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.
Sweetly she grew.
All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.
All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.
Lilly-like, white as snow,
Lilly-like, white as snow,
She hardly knew
She hardly knew
She was a woman, so
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.
Sweetly she grew.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest.
Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet (lyre or sonnet)
All my life's buried here,
Heap earth upon it.
Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet (lyre or sonnet)
All my life's buried here,
Heap earth upon it.
Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest.
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest (she's at rest).
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
Lilly-like, white as snow,
Lilly-like, white as snow,
She hardly knew
She hardly knew
She was a woman, so
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.
Sweetly she grew.
All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.
All her bright golden hair

She is at rest (she's at rest).
