Generate meaning
1
Past the ivy-covered windows of the angel
2
Down Athenaeum Lane to the cathedral
3
Through the churchyard I wandered
4
Sat for a spell there and I pondered
5
My back to the gates, my back to the gates
6
My back to the gates of the garden
7
Fugitive fathers, sickly infants, decent mothers
8
Runaways and suicidal lovers
9
Assorted boxes of ordinary bones
10
Of aborted plans and sudden shattered hopes
11
In unlucky rows, in unhappy rows
12
In unlucky rows, up to the gates of the garden
13
Won't you meet me at the gates?
14
Won't you meet me at the gates?
15
Won't you meet me at the gates to the garden?
16
Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower
17
The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour
18
I turn to find you waiting there for me
19
In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe
20
All alive and the leaning, alive and the leaning
21
All alive and the leaning, leaning on the gates to the garden
22
Leave these ancient places to the angels
23
Let the saints attend to the keeping of their cathedral
24
And leave the dead beneath the ground so cold
25
For God is in this hand that I hold
26
As we open up the gates, as we open up the gates
27
We open up the gates to the garden
28
Won't you meet me at the gates?
29
Won't you meet me at the gates?
30
Won't you meet me at the gates to the garden?
