Chant of Autumn
Whispers of Vanishing Beauty: Chant of Autumn
Lyrics
Like the voice of a golden star
Like the voice of a celestial body, symbolizing brilliance and beauty
Heard from afar
Perceived from a distance
Perishing beauty calls
The allure of fading beauty calls out
Out of the mist and rain
Emanating from the mist and rain
Like the song of a silver wind
Resembling the melody of a gentle, cool wind
When the night is blind
During the obscured night
Murmuring music falls
Soft music whispers
Never to rise again
Never to be revived
Voice of the leaves that die
Expression of dying leaves' voices
Whisper and sigh
Murmurs and sounds of decay
Of ruinous gardens waning
Refers to gardens in decline
Rose by ungathered rose
Each rose left ungathered
Dolor of pines immortal
Pain of immortal pines
That guard the portal
Guardians of a portal, enduring
Of a lonely mead retaining
Lonely meadow retaining untold blossoms
Blossoms that no man knows
Blossoms unknown to humanity
Voices of love and the autumn sun
Blend of love and the autumn sun
In my heart ye are one
Both reside as one within the heart
Fairer the petals that fall
Petals that fall are more beautiful
Dearer the beauty that dies
Greater value in the beauty that perishes
And the pyres of autumn burning
Symbolic fires of autumn burning
