This is the second movement of the Requiem. Other movements can be found here:
SATB with Baritone Solo and Organ, splits up to SSATB
c. 4′
Kyrie eleison
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.
Christe eleison
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Kyrie eleison
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me,
I will not, cannot go.
Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
English Text: Spellbound by Emily Brontë (1818-1848)
