How should we weep when the shadow dies Fading, slipping till the sun lies Asleep? Should we now leave For the stars shed no light? Or shall we mourn by the shallow moon That has no dawn No day, say, Shall we stay? And still Shall we grieve by the shallow grave Of a flown-away life like a fallen leaf And if so, how? And when winter blows Might we rest by the empty tree? Shall we try? Should I? Nobody knows But if to be alive is to belong Then we must Keep Still This song Soprano & baritone soli Sing it until the end of the night Sing it, sing it, for our children loved light My child loved light
