Since you have waned from usB
Fairest of womenC
I am a darkened cageD
Song cannot hymn inE
My songs have followed youF
Like birds the summerG
Ah bring them back to meH
Swiftly dear comerG
SeraphimH
Her to hymnI
Might leave their portalsJ
And at my feet learnK
The harping of mortalsJ
-
IIA
-
Where wings to rustle useL
But this poor tarrierG
Searching my spirit's eavesM
Find I for carrierG
Ah bring them back to meH
Swiftly sweet comerG
Swift swift and bring with youF
Song's Indian summerG
SeraphimH
Her to hymnI
Might leave their portalsJ
And at my feet learnK
The harping of mortalsJ

Went with my songs tooF

I have no angels leftP
Now Sweet to pray toF
Where you have made your shrineR
They are away toF

Heaven is pitched over youF

This lonely longing yetY
'Scapeth your reavingX
Cruel to take from aZ
Sinner his HeavenC
Think you with contrite smilesN
To be forgivenC
SeraphimQ
Her to hymnI
Might leave their portalsN
And at my feet learnK
The harping of mortalsN

Penitent give me backX
Angels and HeavenC
Render your stolen selfQ
And be forgivenC
How frontier Heaven from youF
For my soul prays SweetA2
Still to your face in HeavenC
Heaven in your face SweetA2
SeraphimQ
Her to hymnI
Might leave their portalsN
And at my feet learnK
The harping of mortalsN
