[Chorus]
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna
In die illa tremenda:
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra:
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
[SOPRANO AND Chorus]
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo
Dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna
Quando coeli movendi sunt i terra
Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis
Et miseriae, dies magna et amara valde
Libera me, Domine
[TENOR]
It seems that out of battle I escaped
Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped
Through granites which titanic wars had groined
Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned
Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred
Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared
With piteous recognition in fixed eyes
Lifting distressful hands as if to bless
And no guns thumped, or down the flues made moan
"Strange friend," I said, "here is no cause to mourn."
