	-
	-
'T was eve and Mount Conto	A
Reflected in night	A
The sunbeams that fled	A
With the monarch of light	A
As great souls and noble	B
Reflect evermore	C
The sunshine that gleams	D
From Eternity's shore	C
	-
A slight crimson veil	E
Robed the snow wreath on high	F
The shadow an angel	B
In passing threw by	F
And city and valley	G
In mantle of gray	H
Seemed bowed like a mourner	I
In silence to pray	H
	-
And the sweet vesper bell	J
With a clear measured chime	K
Like the falling of minutes	L
In the hour glass of Time	K
From mountain to mountain	M
Was echoed afar	N
Till it died in the distance	O
As light in a star	N
	-
The young peasant mother	I
Had cradled to rest	A
The infant that carolled	A
In peace on her breast	A
The laborer ere seeking	P
His couch of repose	Q
Told his beads in the shade of	R
A fortress of snows	Q
	-
Up the cloudless serene	S
Moved the silver sphered Night	A
The reveller's palace	T
Was flooded with light	A
And the cadence of music	U
The dancer's gay song	V
In harmony wondrous	T
Went up 'mid the throng	V
	-
The criminal counted	A
With visage of woe	W
The chiming of hours	X
That were left him below	W
And the watcher so pale	E
In the chamber of Death	Y
Bent over the dying	P
With quick stifled breath	Y
	-
The watchman the midnight	A
Had told with shrill cry	F
When through the deep silence	O
What sounded on high	F
With a terrible roar	C
Like the thunders sublime	K
Whose voices shall herald	A
The passing of Time	K
	-
On came the destroyer	I
One crash and one thrill	Z
Each pulse in that city	A
For ever stood still	Z
The blue arch with glory	A
Was mantled by day	A
When the traveller passed	A
On his perilous way	A
	-
Lake valley and forest	A
In sunshine were clear	A2
But when of that village	B2
In wonder and fear	A2
He questioned the landscape	C2
With terror struck eye	F
The mountains in majesty	A
Pointed on high	F
	-
The strong arm of Love	R
Struggled down through the mould	A
The miner dug deep	D2
For the jewels and gold	A
And workmen delved ages	E2
That sepulchre o'er	I
But found of the city	A
A trace never more	C
	-
And now on the height	A
Of that fathomless tomb	F2
The fair Alpine flowers	X
In loveliness bloom	F2
And the water falls chant	A
Through their minster of snow	W
A mass for the spirits	G2
That slumber below	W
