I Raise My Cup to Him

Lyrics

[EURYDICE] Pour the wine and raise a cup Drink up, brothers, you know how And spill a drop for Orpheus Wherever he is now [PERSEPHONE] Some birds sing when the sun shines bright My praise is not for them But the one who sings in the dead of night I raise my cup to him [EURYDICE] Wherever he is wandering Alone upon the earth Let all our singing follow him And bring him comfort Some flowers bloom when the green grass grows My praise is not for them But the one who blooms in the bitter snow I raise my cup to him [PERSEPHONE] I raise my cup and drink it up [EURYDICE] I raise it high and drink it dry [PERSEPHONE] To Orpheus and all of us Goodnight, brothers, goodnight
