Lamentation

Pantokrator

    Continues after the ad

    The beauty of Israel is slain
    Tell it not in Gath lest philistine women boast
    On thee O Gilboa mountain no dew shall fall
    For there my brother fell
    How are the mighty fallen
    Victorious in war they where no
    Hungry sword returned
    Swifter than eagles, stronger than lions
    Pleasent they where father and son

    How
    Even in death not devided
    Weep for them O daughters of my people
    The beauty you wear was paid with their swords
    Scarlet robes and ornaments of gold

    Continues after the ad

    How
    Even in the midst of the battle
    O Jonathan thou wast slain
    O dear fiend of mine I mourn
    Pleasant unto me you were, thy love wonderful it was
    Passing the love of women
    How
    How are they perished these swords of war
