Lumen et Limine (Cranäe's Song)

Caves and vales
share the tale,
echo words (words)
for long unheard

Amidst the glow
shame but grows (grows),
t'wards the hollow
lead so I can follow

Lumen et limine
Clausa aperit, claudit aperta

I stay behind
to run and hide (hide),
beneath a rock
he finds me under shock

Lumen et limine
Clausa aperit, claudit aperta

I pine for my grove
embraced and torn (torn)
to adorn the doors
with common whitethorn

Echoes lost (lost) in the woods,
Lost (lost) maidenhood

Lumen et limine
Clausa aperit, claudit aperta
