[instrumental solo, virtuosic hurdy-gurdy, 30 seconds] [screaming trompette, wheel speed modulation] [verse2, 20 seconds] [drone: contralto, octave below] My watchful eye will soften, again, and shed more tears as I gaze on you, more tears over my damp bed ensue, your gaze bearing witness to its pain. [chorus, layered vocals, 15 seconds] Weary human spirits now sink deep into that sweet rest, granted them by sleep. I can endure my ills in the light of the Sun: [outro, 15 seconds, spoken words] "but when almost close to death I lie, wearied, turning to my bed, then I must cry my pain, till the night is done." [instrumental outro, hurdy-gurdy, 10 seconds] [end]
