O let the soul her slumbers break	A
Let thought be quickened and awake	A
Awake to see	B
How soon this life is past and gone	C
And death comes softly stealing on	D
How silently	B
	-
Swiftly our pleasures glide away	E
Our hearts recall the distant day	E
With many sighs	F
The moments that are speeding fast	G
We heed not but the past the past	G
More highly prize	F
	-
Onward its course the present keeps	H
Onward the constant current sweeps	H
Till life is done	I
And did we judge of time aright	G
The past and future in their flight	G
Would be as one	I
	-
Let no one fondly dream again	J
That Hope and all her shadowy train	K
Will not decay	E
Fleeting as were the dreams of old	G
Remembered like a tale that's told	G
They pass away	E
	-
Our lives are rivers gliding free	B
To that unfathomed boundless sea	B
The silent grave	L
Thither all earthly pomp and boast	G
Roll to be swallowed up and lost	G
In one dark wave	L
	-
Thither the mighty torrents stray	E
Thither the brook pursues its way	E
And tinkling rill	M
There all are equal side by side	G
The poor man and the son of pride	G
Lie calm and still	M
	-
I will not here invoke the throng	N
Of orators and sons of song	N
The deathless few	O
Fiction entices and deceives	B
And sprinkled o'er her fragrant leaves	B
Lies poisonous dew	O
	-
To One alone my thoughts arise	B
The Eternal Truth the Good and Wise	B
To Him I cry	P
Who shared on earth our common lot	G
But the world comprehended not	G
His deity	B
	-
This world is but the rugged road	G
Which leads us to the bright abode	G
Of peace above	Q
So let us choose that narrow way	E
Which leads no traveller's foot astray	E
From realms of love	Q
	-
Our cradle is the starting place	B
Life is the running of the race	B
We reach the goal	R
When in the mansions of the blest	G
Death leaves to its eternal rest	G
The weary soul	R
	-
Did we but use it as we ought	G
This world would school each wandering thought	G
To its high state	G
Faith wings the soul beyond the sky	P
Up to that better world on high	P
For which we wait	G
	-
Yes the glad messenger of love	Q
To guide us to our home above	Q
The Saviour came	S
Born amid mortal cares and fears	B
He suffered in this vale of tears	B
A death of shame	S
	-
Behold of what delusive worth	T
The bubbles we pursue on earth	T
The shapes we chase	B
Amid a world of treachery	B
They vanish ere death shuts the eye	P
And leave no trace	B
	-
Time steals them from us chances strange	U
Disastrous accident and change	U
That come to all	V
Even in the most exalted state	G
Relentless sweeps the stroke of fate	G
The strongest fall	V
	-
Tell me the charms that lovers seek	W
In the clear eye and blushing cheek	W
The hues that play	E
O'er rosy lip and brow of snow	X
When hoary age approaches slow	X
Ah where are they	E
	-
The cunning skill the curious arts	B
The glorious strength that youth imparts	B
In life's first stage	Y
These shall become a heavy weight	G
When Time swings wide his outward gate	G
To weary age	Y
	-
The noble blood of Gothic name	S
Heroes emblazoned high to fame	S
In long array	E
How in the onward course of time	Z
The landmarks of that race sublime	Z
Were swept away	E
	-
Some the degraded slaves of lust	G
Prostrate and trampled in the dust	G
Shall rise no more	A2
Others by guilt and crime maintain	K
The scutcheon that without a stain	K
Their fathers bore	A2
	-
Wealth and the high estate of pride	G
With what untimely speed they glide	G
How soon depart	G
Bid not the shadowy phantoms stay	E
The vassals of a mistress they	E
Of fickle heart	G
	-
These gifts in Fortune's hands are found	G
Her swift revolving wheel turns round	G
And they are gone	C
No rest the inconstant goddess knows	B
But changing and without repose	B
Still hurries on	D
	-
Even could the hand of avarice save	L
Its gilded baubles till the grave	L
Reclaimed its prey	E
Let none on such poor hopes rely	P
Life like an empty dream flits by	P
And where are they	E
	-
Earthly desires and sensual lust	G
Are passions springing from the dust	G
They fade and die	P
But in the life beyond the tomb	B2
They seal the immortal spirits doom	B2
Eternally	B
	-
The pleasures and delights which mask	C2
In treacherous smiles life's serious task	C2
What are they all	V
But the fleet coursers of the chase	B
And death an ambush in the race	B
Wherein we fall	V
	-
No foe no dangerous pass we heed	G
Brook no delay but onward speed	G
With loosened rein	K
And when the fatal snare is near	D2
We strive to check our mad career	D2
But strive in vain	K
	-
Could we new charms to age impart	G
And fashion with a cunning art	G
The human face	B
As we can clothe the soul with light	G
And make the glorious spirit bright	G
With heavenly grace	B
	-
How busily each passing hour	E2
Should we exert that magic power	E2
What ardor show	X
To deck the sensual slave of sin	F2
Yet leave the freeborn soul within	F2
In weeds of woe	X
	-
Monarchs the powerful and the strong	N
Famous in history and in song	N
Of olden time	Z
Saw by the stern decrees of fate	G
Their kingdoms lost and desolate	G
Their race sublime	Z
	-
Who is the champion who the strong	N
Pontiff and priest and sceptred throng	N
On these shall fall	V
As heavily the hand of Death	G2
As when it stays the shepherd's breath	G2
Beside his stall	V
	-
I speak not of the Trojan name	S
Neither its glory nor its shame	S
Has met our eyes	B
Nor of Rome's great and glorious dead	G
Though we have heard so oft and read	G
Their histories	B
	-
Little avails it now to know	X
Of ages passed so long ago	X
Nor how they rolled	G
Our theme shall be of yesterday	E
Which to oblivion sweeps away	E
Like day's of old	G
	-
Where is the King Don Juan Where	H2
Each royal prince and noble heir	H2
Of Aragon	D
Where are the courtly gallantries	B
The deeds of love and high emprise	B
In battle done	I
	-
Tourney and joust that charmed the eye	P
And scarf and gorgeous panoply	B
And nodding plume	B2
What were they but a pageant scene	I2
What but the garlands gay and green	I2
That deck the tomb	B2
	-
Where are the high born dames and where	H2
Their gay attire and jewelled hair	H2
And odors sweet	G
Where are the gentle knights that came	S
To kneel and breathe love's ardent flame	S
Low at their feet	G
	-
Where is the song of Troubadour	A2
Where are the lute and gay tambour	A2
They loved of yore	A2
Where is the mazy dance of old	G
The flowing robes inwrought with gold	G
The dancers wore	A2
	-
And he who next the sceptre swayed	G
Henry whose royal court displayed	G
Such power and pride	G
O in what winning smiles arrayed	G
The world its various pleasures laid	G
His throne beside	G
	-
But O how false and full of guile	J2
That world which wore so soft a smile	J2
But to betray	A2
She that had been his friend before	A2
Now from the fated monarch tore	A2
Her charms away	A2
	-
The countless gifts the stately walls	B
The loyal palaces and halls	B
All filled with gold	G
Plate with armorial bearings wrought	G
Chambers with ample treasures fraught	G
Of wealth untold	G
	-
The noble steeds and harness bright	G
And gallant lord and stalwart knight	G
In rich array	A2
Where shall we seek them now Alas	B
Like the bright dewdrops on the grass	B
They passed away	A2
	-
His brother too whose factious zeal	K2
Usurped the sceptre of Castile	K2
Unskilled to reign	K
What a gay brilliant court had he	B
When all the flower of chivalry	B
Was in his train	K
	-
But he was mortal and the breath	G2
That flamed from the hot forge of Death	G2
Blasted his years	B
Judgment of God that flame by thee	B
When raging fierce and fearfully	K2
Was quenched in tears	B
	-
Spain's haughty Constable the true	A2
And gallant Master whom we knew	A2
Most loved of all	K2
Breathe not a whisper of his pride	G
He on the gloomy scaffold died	G
Ignoble fall	K2
	-
The countless treasures of his care	A2
His villages and villas fair	A2
His mighty power	A2
What were they all but grief and shame	S
Tears and a broken heart when came	S
The parting hour	A2
	-
His other brothers proud and high	P
Masters who in prosperity	B
Might rival kings	B
Who made the bravest and the best	G
The bondsmen of their high behest	G
