He sat in silence on the ground	A
The old and haughty Czar	B
Lonely tho' princes girt him round	A
And leaders of the war	C
He had cast his jewell'd sabre	D
That many a field had won	E
To the earth beside his youthful dead	F
His fair and first born son	E
	-
With a robe of ermine for its bed	F
Was laid that form of clay	G
Where the light a stormy sunset shed	F
Thro' the rich tent made way	G
And a sad and solemn beauty	H
On the pallid face came down	I
Which the Lord of nations mutely watch'd	J
In the dust with his renown	I
	-
Low tones at last of wo and fear	K
From his full bosom broke	L
A mournful thing it was to hear	M
How then the proud man spoke	L
The voice that thro' the combat	N
Had shouted far and high	O
Came forth in strange dull hollow tones	P
Burden'd with agony	H
	-
'There is no crimson on thy cheek	Q
And on thy lip no breath	R
I call thee and thou dost not speak	Q
They tell me this is death	R
And fearful things are whispering	S
That I the deed have done	E
For the honour of thy father's name	T
Look up look up my son	E
	-
'Well might I know death's hue and mien	U
But on thine aspect boy	V
What till this moment have I seen	U
Save pride and tameless joy	V
Swiftest thou wert to battle	W
And bravest there of all	X
How could I think a warrior's frame	T
Thus like a flower should fall	X
	-
'I will not bear that still cold look	Y
Rise up thou fierce and free	H
Wake as the storm wakes I will brook	Y
All save this calm from thee	H
Lift brightly up and proudly	H
Once more thy kindling eyes	Z
Hath my word lost its power on earth	A2
I say to thee arise	Z
	-
'Didst thou not know I lov'd thee well	B2
Thou didst not and art gone	C2
In bitterness of soul to dwell	B2
Where man must dwell alone	D2
Come back young fiery spirit	E2
If but one hour to learn	F2
The secrets of the folded heart	G2
That seem'd to thee so stern	F2
	-
'Thou wert the first the first fair child	H2
That in mine arms I press'd	I2
Thou wert the bright one that hast smil'd	H2
Like summer on my breast	I2
I rear'd thee as an eagle	W
To the chase thy steps I led	F
I bore thee on my battle horse	J2
I look upon thee dead	F
	-
'Lay down my warlike banners here	M
Never again to wave	K2
And bury my red sword and spear	K
Chiefs in my first born's grave	K2
And leave me I have conquer'd	L2
I have slain my work is done	E
Whom have I slain ye answer not	M2
Thou too art mute my son '	-
	-
And thus his wild lament was pour'd	N2
Thro' the dark resounding night	O2
And the battle knew no more his sword	N2
Nor the foaming steed his might	O2
He heard strange voices moaning	S
In every wind that sigh'd	P2
From the searching stars of heaven he shrank	Q2
Humbly the conqueror died	P2
