| An iron hand has stilled the throats | B |
| That throbbed with loud and rhythmic glee | C |
| And dammed the flood of silver notes | B |
| That drenched the world in melody | C |
| The blosmy apple boughs are yearning | D |
| For their wild choristers' returning | D |
| But no swift wings flash through the tree | C |
| - | |
| Ye that were glad and fleet and strong | E |
| Shall Silence take you in her net | F |
| And shall Death quell that radiant song | E |
| Whose echo thrills the meadow yet | F |
| Burst the frail web about you clinging | D |
| And charm Death's cruel heart with singing | D |
| Till with strange tears his eyes are wet | F |
| - | |
| The scented morning of the year | G |
| Is old and stale now ye are gone | H |
| No friendly songs the children hear | I |
| Among the bushes on the lawn | H |
| When babies wander out a Maying | D |
| Will ye their bards afar be straying | D |
| Unhymned by you what is the dawn | H |
| - | |
| Nay since ye loved ye cannot die | J |
| Above the stars is set your nest | K |
| Through Heaven's fields ye sing and fly | J |
| And in the trees of Heaven rest | K |
| And little children in their dreaming | D |
| Shall see your soft black plumage gleaming | D |
| And smile by your clear music blest | K |
