O crow, O crow If you must feed, pick at my flesh bit by bit- O crow but dare i beg, spare my eyes For these eyes yearn to see my beloved again, one last time. Let the winds take my breath, Let the earth drink my blood. O crow, but grant the wish of your pawn Of a final glance of her walk's dawn. O crow, let your wings shadow all her face, Blind the world, yet leave her light untouched by your grace. O crow, listen to a dying man's mumble, When she comes, let not my bones tremble. For even in death, I would not have her crumble. Take all else, O crow, But leave my eyes. For they must close after beholding love, One last time.

O crow
O crow, O crow If you must feed, pick at my flesh bit by bit- O crow but dare i beg, spare my eyes For these eyes yearn to see my beloved again, one last time. Let the winds take my breath, Let the earth drink my blood. O crow, but grant the wish of your pawn Of a final glance of her walk's dawn. O crow, let your wings shadow all her face, Blind the world, yet leave her light untouched by your grace. O crow, listen to a dying man's mumble, When she comes, let not my bones tremble. For even in death, I would not have her crumble. Take all else, O crow, But leave my eyes. For they must close after beholding love, One last time.
