VII
sunrise/sunset Lyrics

Lost love-labour and lullaby
The work put into love and the soothing songs that came with it are now gone

And lowly let love lie
Love is now neglected and left to diminish without any attention

Lost love-morrow and love fellow
Expectations of love in the future and love for others are now lost

And love's life lying low
Love is dwindling and not being cared for, causing it to wither away

Lovelorn labour and life laid by
The hard work put into love and the actions of everyday life have been left behind

And lowly let love lie
Love is still neglected and without any attention or effort

Late love-longing and life-sorrow
The desire for love has come late and now brings great sadness to life

And love's life lying low
Love is still diminishing and not receiving any care or attention

Beauty's body and benison
The physical attributes and blessings of beauty are present

With a bosom-flower new-blown
A symbol of youthfulness and fertility embodied by a flower in the chest

Bitter beauty and blessing bann'd
Beauty and blessings have been tainted and forbidden

With a breast to burn and brand
An intense sensation of pain and humiliation attached to the chest

Beauty's bower in the dust o'erblown
The once beautiful dwelling place has been reduced to dust

With a bare white breast of bone
The beautiful body is now decomposed and all that remains is a bare white bone

Barren beauty and bower of sand
Beauty is now infertile and unproductive, with the dwelling filled with sand instead of life

With a blast on either hand
The setting is harsh, with extreme wind on both sides of the barren beauty

Buried bars in the breakwater
Obstructions are hidden underwater at the shore

And bubble of the brimming weir
Water flows over the edge of the weir and bubbles at the bottom

Body's blood in the breakwater
Blood has been spilled at the shore

And a buried body's bier
A burial place has been constructed at the shoreline

Buried bones in the breakwater
Bones are hidden beneath the surface of the water at the shore

And bubble of the brawling weir
Turbulence occurs at the runoff of the weir

Bitter tears in the breakwater
Tears have been shed at the shore

And a breaking heart to bear
A heart is heavy with sorrow and struggling to continue

Hollow heaven and the hurricane
The empty sky and a severe storm are present

And hurry of the heavy rain
The rain is coming down heavily and quickly

Hurried clouds in the hollow heaven
The clouds are moving swiftly in the emptiness of the sky

And a heavy rain hard-driven
The rain is severe, coming down hard and forcefully

The heavy rain it hurries amain
The severe rain is coming quickly and moving rapidly

And heaven and the hurricane
The powerful hurricane is present against the backdrop of the empty sky

Hurrying wind o'er the heaven's hollow
The wind is coming with great speed through the emptiness of the sky

And the heavy rain to follow
The severe rain is expected to continue
