All Is Well - A medieval winter lullaby

One by one

Each leaf will fall

The earth will embrace us

One and all

Each bloom will drop

The tree grow bare

All becomes still

As winter draws near

A mist rolls in

And all will sleep

Our breathing is soft

Our slumber is deep

We rest, we dream

We find our peace

In earth’s sweet embrace

Our woes we release

All are sleeping

No more weeping

Resting, waiting

All is well

In earth’s embrace

There’s no more fleeing

Rest and wait

All will be well

The gray skies may

Be dark as night

But hope is not fleeting

Nor out of sight

While storms are brewing

Wars are fought

But deep in our dreams

These storms reach us not

All are sleeping

No more weeping

Resting, waiting

All is well

In earth’s embrace

There’s no more fleeing

Rest and wait

All will be well

When the glorious

Morning is here

The storm will be over

All will be clear

As we awake

From our sleep

We’ll gather our loved ones

Safely to keep

All are sleeping

No more weeping

Resting, waiting

All is well

In earth’s embrace

There’s no more fleeing

Rest and wait

All will be well
