Grief there will be and mayB
When King Apollo's bayB
Is cut midwiseA
Grief that a song is stilledC
Grief for the unfulfilledC
Singer that diesA
-
Not so we mourn thee nowD
Not so we grieve that thouD
MASTER art passedE
Since thou thy song didst raiseA
Through the full round of daysA
E'en to the lastE
-
Grief there may be and willF
When that the Singer stillF
Sinks in the songG
When that the wing d rhymeH
Fails of the promised primeH
Ruined and wrongG
-
Not thus we mourn thee weI
Not thus we grieve for theeI
MASTER and FriendJ
Since like a clearing flameK
Clearer thy pure song cameK
E'en to the endJ
-
Nay nor for thee we grieveL
E'en as for those that leaveL
Life without nameK
Lost as the stars that setM
Empty of men's regretM
Empty of fameK
-
Rather we count thee oneN
Who when his race is runN
Layeth him downO
Calm through all coming daysA
Filled with a nation's praiseA
Filled with renownO
