Oh ,  look   around   you ,
Tell me what do  you  see ?
Do  you  see the yellow morning
And the green land so free ?"

" Oh  no, I see no morning
But lands of dark and grey
And they tell me the green land
Has long gone away,
Has long gone away."

"Once more  look   around   you ,
Tell me what do  you  see ?
Do  you  see the clear wave laughter
And the deep blue sea ?"

" Oh  no, there is no sorrow
Where the laughing tree stood
And they tell me the blue sea
Has long turned to blood,
Has long turned to blood."

"No more  look   around   you ,
Say no more what  you  see.
But give me your cold hand
And lay beside me.

And there,  oh  my darling,
 You  will never worry
And we, like the others,
Will forget in our sleep,
Will forget in our sleep."
