Nymphs and nereids

Language: English after the Multiple Languages

Nymphs and Nereids, hamadryads and dryads,
Come and join in mourning my desolation.
For I am struck down by such affliction
That my soul is more dead than alive.

Cantus firmus
 The groans of death have surrounded me
 The pains of hell have surrounded me.
