Underneath the ancient oaks
claret cape on shoulders bare
Still and silent in the shadows
Roses clasped in fingers fair

Mossy rocks her only pillow
Wild red roses for her crown
Lily in the churchyard sleeping
Where the angels laid her down

You'll need no more tears forever, my love
Look for me there in the city of light
Lay your sweet head on eternity's bed
And rest beside me tonight

Up above the angels hover
High above her bed of stone
Here to ease her passing over
Come at last to take her home




Black curls rest upon her shoulders
Open eyes will weep no more
Homeward, angels now ascending
Carry her to heaven's door

You'll need no more tears forever, my love
Look for me there in the city of light
Lay your sweet head on eternity's bed
And rest beside me tonight. (less info)
