Lyrics
North and my South
East and my West
My working week
And my Sunday rest
Noon and my night
My talk and my song
Thought love would last forever
But I was wrong
The stars are not wanted
Put out every one
Pack up the moon
Dismantle the sun
Pour away the ocean
Sweep up the wood
For nothing now
Can ever be good
May these mountains know
Neither dew nor rain
For my love now
On their heights
Lies slain
Gone is his warmth
The strength of his hands
Drive out the herds
Abandon the land
Let the crops fail
Grapes die on the vine
For he will never again
Open his eyes
Summer and Spring
Winter and Fall
Shared history
None now to recall
Rain sulphurous fire
Reduce all to ash
For my love
Will never come back
May these mountains know
Neither dew nor rain
For my love now
On their heights
Lies slain
Don't let them hear
Tell it not in Gath
Lest they rejoice
Lest they be glad
All of Israel
And Judah will know
Forever by heart
The Song of the Bow
Unmake the light
Swallow the word
Take back the dust
Undo the world
Withdraw the breath
Kill it with cold
For Jonathan
Will never grow old
May these mountains know
Neither dew nor rain
For my love now
On their heights
Lies slain
