Pale as a star that shines through rain	A
Her face was seen at the window pane	A
Her sad frail face that watched in vain	A
	-
The face of a girl whose brow was wan	B
To whom the kind sun spoke at dawn	C
And a star and the moon when the day was gone	C
	-
And oft and often the sun had said	D
'O fair white face O sweet fair head	D
Come talk with me of the love that's dead '	-
	-
And she would sit in the sun awhile	E
Down in the garth by the old stone dial	F
Where never again would he make her smile	E
	-
And often the first bright star o'erhead	D
Had whispered 'Sweet where the rose blooms red	D
Come look with me for the love that's dead '	-
	-
And she would wait with the star she knew	G
Where the fountain splashed and the roses blew	G
Where never again would he come to woo	G
	-
And oft the moon when she lay in bed	D
Had sighed 'Dear heart in the orchardstead	D
Come dream with me of the love that's dead '	-
	-
And she would stand in the moon the dim	H
Where the fruit made heavy the apple limb	H
Where never again would she dream with him	H
	-
So summer passed and the autumn came	I
And the wind torn boughs were touched with flame	I
But her life and her sorrow remained the same	I
	-
Or if she changed as it comes about	D
A life may change through trouble and doubt	D
As a candle flickers and then goes out	D
	-
'T was only to grow more quiet and wan	B
Sadly waiting at dusk and at dawn	C
For the coming of love forever gone	C
	-
And so one night when the star looked in	J
It kissed her face that was white and thin	J
And murmured 'Come thou free of sin '	-
	-
And when the moon on another night	D
Beheld her lying still and white	D
It sighed ''T is well now all is right '	-
	-
And when one morning the sun arose	K
And they bore her bier down the garden close	L
It touched her saying 'At last repose '	-
	-
And they laid her down so young and fair	M
Where the grass was withered the bough was bare	M
All wrapped in the light of her golden hair	M
	-
So autumn passed and the winter went	D
And spring like a blue eyed penitent	D
Came telling her beads of blossom and scent	D
	-
And lo to the grave of the beautiful	F
The strong sun cried 'Why art thou dull	F
Awake awake Forget thy skull '	-
	-
And the evening star and the moon above	N
Called out 'O dust now speak thereof	N
Proclaim thyself Arise O love '	-
	-
And the skull and the dust in the darkness heard	D
Each icy germ in its cerements stirred	D
As Lazarus moved at the Lord's loud word	D
	-
And a flower arose on the mound of green	O
White as the robe of the Nazarene	O
To testify of the life unseen	O
	-
And I paused by the grave then went my way	P
And it seemed that I heard the lily say	P
'Here was a miracle wrought to day '	-
