lyrics

Often at the well when it dawns
One sees her standing spellbound
Scooping water when it dawns
Buckets go up and down
In the beeches jackdaws flutter
And she resembles a shadow
Her yellow hair flutters
And rats scream in the yard
And enticed by decay
She lowers her inflamed eyelids
Parched grass in decay
Bends down to her feet

Silently she works in the chamber
And the yard lies long desolate
In the elder trees by the chamber
A blackbird flutes pitifully
Silverly her image in the mirror
Looks at her strangely in the twilight-glow
And dusks sickly in the mirror
And she shudders before its purity
Dreamlike a farm boy sings in the dark
And she stares shaken with pain
Redness trickles through the dark
Suddenly at the gate the south wind shakes

Nightly over the bare meadow
She totters in feverish dreams
A morose wind whines in the meadow
And the moon listens from the trees
Soon all around the stars pale
And exhausted from complaints
Her waxen cheeks pale
Putrefaction is scented from the earth
Sadly the reeds rustle by the pond
And cowering she freezes
Far away a cock crows. Above the pond
Morning shivers hard and grey

In the smithy clangs the hammer
And she scurries past the gate
In red glow the farm boy swings the hammer
And deathlike she looks over there
As in dream she's struck by his laughter
And she tumbles into the smithy
Shyly cringing before his laughter
Like the hammer hard and coarse
And falls dazed to the earth

Lankily sprawled out on the bed
She wakes filled with sweet tremblings
And she sees her soiled bed
Hidden by a golden light
Mignonettes there at the window
And the bluish brightness of sky
Sometimes the wind carries to the window
A bell's hesitant to toll
Shadows glide over the pillow
Noon strikes slowly
And she breathes heavily on the pillow
And her mouth is like a wound

In the evening bloody linens float
Clouds over silent forests
Sparrows fuss in the fields
Dreamlike in the brown hamlet
A sound of dance and fiddles echoes
And she lies completely white in darkness
