Once there was a man who dwelt
Above the lofty peaks of stone
Above the misty clouds forlorn
In silent tears he dwelt alone

In hardened task one day he saw
A maiden shining with dark sad eyes
Like icy spears they pierced him with
Her shadowed sorrow and mourning cries

What power in heaven could ever move
This long forsaken man to speak
Who hid between the mountains cold
Who hid behind the icy peak

O woman! Why do you cry?
What burden do you bear?
Unknown to me it breaks my heart
Is no one left to care?

Come and let me share your pain
Above the lofty peaks of stone
Above the misty clouds forlorn
In silent tears but not alone
