In the woods I went a-walking In the woods I went a-stumbling through the dark
Well his hair was tied with ribbon And the staff he held it frightened 'way the larks
Yet I followed through the branches Yet I left good faith behind and played the part
Look around you He has found you All the walls are tumbling in fire I say, dearest heart, I Haven't far, I Say thy prayers, no harm will come to thee But If I Give up weeping Abandon Sleeping Give to grave and dark-clad company
Well a chorus sounded trumpets And the blaze it pealed the color from the sky
And the good beheld the wicked And their faces blurred together in the light
I cried out against the roaring Then the sound it swelled, it hushed into a sigh
My eyes opened to a silence All alone, on knees and trembling so was I
Look around you He has found you All the walls are tumbling in fire I say, dearest heart, I Haven't far, I Say thy prayers, no harm will come to thee But If I Give up weeping Abandon Sleeping Give to grave and dark-clad company
