I	A
	-
IT is the music of her native land	B
The airs she used to love in happier days	C
The lute is struck by some young gentle hand	B
To soothe her spirit with remember'd lays	C
II	A
	-
But her sad heart is wandering from the notes	D
Her ear is fill'd with an imagined strain	E
Vainly the soften'd music round her floats	D
The echo it awakes is all of pain	E
III	A
	-
The echo it awakes is of a voice	F
Which never more her weary heart shall cheer	G
Fain would she banish it but hath no choice	F
Its vanish'd sound still haunts her shrinking ear	H
IV	I
	-
Still haunts her with its tones of joy and love	I
Its memories of bitterness and wrong	J
Bidding her thoughts thro' various changes rove	I
Welcomes farewells and snatches of wild song	J
V	I
	-
Why bring her music She had half forgot	K
How left how lonely how oppress'd she was	L
Why by these strains recal her former lot	K
The depth of all her suffering and its cause	L
VI	I
	-
Know ye not what a spell there is in sound	M
Know ye not that the melody of words	N
Is nothing to the power that wanders round	M
Giving vague language to harmonious chords	O
VII	I
	-
Oh I keep ye silence He hath sung to her	P
And from that hour faint twilight sweet and dim	Q
When the low breeze scarce made the branches stirs	R
Music hath been a memory of HIM	Q
VIII	I
	-
Chords which the wandering fingers scarcely touch	S
When they would seek for some forgotten song	J
Stray notes which have no certain meaning such	S
As careless hands unthinkingly prolong	J
IX	R
	-
Come unto HER fraught with a vivid dream	T
Of love in all its wild and passionate strength	U
Of sunsets glittering on the purple stream	T
Of shadows deepening into twilight length	U
X	R
	-
Of gentle sounds when the warm world lay hush'd	V
Beneath the soft breath of the evening air	W
Of hopes and fears and expectations crush'd	V
By one long certainty of blank despair	W
XI	R
	-
Bear to the sick man's couch the fiery cup	X
Pledged by wild feasters in their riotous hours	R
And bid his parch'd lips drink the poison up	X
As tho' its foam held cool refreshing powers	R
XII	R
	-
Lift some poor wounded wretch whose writhing pain	E
Finds soothing only in an utter rest	Y
Forth in some rude made litter to regain	E
Strength for his limbs and vigour for his breast	Y
XIII	R
	-
But soothe ye not that proud forsaken heart	Z
With strains whose sweetness maddens as they fall	A2
Untroubled let her feverish soul depart	Z
Not long shall memory's power its might enthral	A2
XIV	I
	-
Not long tho' balmy be the summer's breath	B2
In the deep stillness of its golden light	C2
A shadowy spirit sits whose name is DEATH	B2
And turns what was all beauty into blight	C2
XV	I
	-
And she before whose sad and dreaming eye	I
Visions of by gone days are sweeping on	D2
In her unfaded youth shall drooping die	I
Shut from the glow of that Italian sun	E2
XVI	I
	-
Then let the organ's solemn notes prolong	J
Their glory round the silence of her grave	I
Then let the choral voices swell in song	J
And echo thro' the chancel and the nave	I
XVII	I
	-
For then her heart shall ache not at the sound	M
Then the faint fever of her life shall cease	R
Silence unbroken calm shall reign around	M
And the long restless shall be laid at peace	R
