LOVED AND LOST OR THE SKY LARK AND THE VIOLET	A
	-
	-
VIOLET'S SONG	B
	-
I	-
	-
Come down from thy dazzling sphere	C
Bird of the gushing song	B
Come down where the young leaves whisper low	D
While the breeze steals in with a murmurous flow	D
And the tender branches wave to and fro	D
In the soft air all day long	B
	-
I have watched thy daring wing	E
Cleaving the sun bright air	F
Where the snowy cloud is asleep in light	G
Or dreamily floating in robes of white	G
While thy soul gushed forth in its song's free might	G
Till my spirit is dim with care	F
	-
For oh I have loved thee well	H
Thou of the soaring wing	E
And I fear lest the angels that sit on high	-
In the calm still depths of the upper sky	-
Will love with a tenderer love than I	-
As they stoop to hear thee sing	E
	-
Come down from the heights my bird	I
And warble thy lays to me	J
I shall pine and droop in my grassy nook	K
For the passionate song that my spirit shook	K
And the low sad voice of the grieving brook	K
Will murmur all night of thee	J
	-
I shall sit alone alone	L
While the noontide hour steals by	-
And mournful the woodland's music will be	J
Mournful the blue calm heavens to me	J
Mournful the glory on earth and sea	J
And mournful the sunset sky	-
	-
O voice of exulting song	B
O bright unwavering eye	-
O free wing soaring in fetterless flight	G
Up to the Fountain of quenchless Light	G
O Earth that darken'st in sudden night	G
I shudder and faint and die	-
	-
	-
SKY LARK'S SONG	B
	-
II	-
	-
From the dewy grass upspringing	B
From my wing the pearl drops flinging	B
Upward with exultant singing	B
Let me let me fly	-
Sun with gemmed and flashing banners	M
List my rapturous hosannas	M
As I mount on circling wing	B
Higher o'er the fragrant meadow	D
O'er the forest's broken shadow	D
O'er the hill tops green and golden	N
Where the ivied ruins olden	N
Echo out with sudden gladness	M
As I break their brooding sadness	M
With the lays I sing	B
	-
Joy joy I have caught the song	B
Of the angels that sit above	O
And warble in musical chorus alway	P
Those notes that oftentimes earthward stray	Q
So tenderly sweet at the fall of day	Q
What time the rose bud's trembling spray	Q
Thrills with their lays of love	O
Joy joy I have caught the song	B
Of bright ones that sit above	O
And the far off Earth's a forgotten thing	B
As I mount on free and fetterless wing	B
Up to the sun fields where they sing	B
Drawn on by their soul of love	O
	-
Hush is it a voice of Earth	R
Of the far away Earth I hear	S
Breathing of the fragrant meadow	D
Of the drooping willow's shadow	D
Of the breezes' gentle sighing	B
Of the brooklet's low replying	B
Of the blue o'er arching heaven	N
Of the violet curtained even	T
Of the tender dreamy starlight	G
Of the hushed majestic midnight	G
And through all that murmur so sad and low	D
Meanings of passionate anguish flow	D
Till I feel a weight on my glancing wing	B
Bearing me earthward while yet I sing	B
With its burden of heavy woe	D
	-
	-
VIOLET'S SONG	B
	-
III	-
	-
Bird I am drooping in tears alone	L
Pressing my cheek 'gainst the cold grey stone	L
And looking upward with aching eye	-
Through the tender depths of the morning sky	-
But thy form fades out in that glorious sea	M
That lieth so calmly 'twixt thee and me	M
A speck it is lost in the azure deep	U
And I droop in the deepening gloom and weep	U
My sorrowful life away	Q
	-
O voice of passionate song	B
O bright unwavering eye	-
O free wing soaring in limitless flight	G
Beyond the stretch of my aching sight	G
How the cold earth darkens in sudden night	G
How I shudder and faint and die	-
	-
	-
SKY LARK'S SONG	B
	-
IV	O
	-
Fainter and fainter 'tis heard no more	V
That plaintive strain from Earth's lessening shore	V
And I fling its weight from my fetterless wing	B
Higher and higher in heaven to sing	B
Afar from Earth's faded shore	V
I shall take my seat in the clouds	M
I shall sit beside the Sun	N
I shall gaze with calm unfaltering eye	-
On the face of the radiant one	N
O glorious kingly Sun	N
O brightly beautiful one	N
O Monarch sitting serenely bright	G
In thy quenchless glory on heaven's height	G
I am upward drawn to thee	M
And thy fiery spirit's ardent flame	W
Is downward drawn to me	M
Sun with gemmed and flashing banners	M
List my rapturous hosannas	M
As I circle nearer nearer	X
Where your rays burn brighter clearer	X
Up on wings of strong desire	X
Higher still and ever higher	X

VIOLET'S SONG	B
	-
V	M
	-
I droop by the cold grey stone	L
I faint in the smitten day	Q
I hear not the song of my own free bird	I
Whose joyous music my glad heart stirred	I
But yester morn I can see no more	V
The humming bird's wing as it flutters o'er	X
The fragrant clover bloom	Y
The brook with a far off sorrowful tone	L
Seemeth in measureless grief to moan	L
As it hurrieth on its way	Q
The breath of my lost perfume	Y
Floats on the wandering breeze	M
Over the meadow's perishing bloom	Y
Over the cold blue seas	M
I would not gather it back	B
I would not fill anew	Z
With love's pure incense my broken urn	A2
For the lost can never more return	A2
From the sky's encompassing blue	Z
	-
It is well I would not hang	B
A weight on his fetterless wing	B
For was he not make for the sun bright sky	-
To face the glories that burn on high	-
And I to sit 'mid Earth's fading bloom	Y
And waste my life in the faint perfume	Y
I fling to the thankless breeze	M
Let him cleave the azure infinite	B2
Let him pour his soul out in song's free might	G
Till the white robed seraphs that dwell in light	G
Shall stoop to hear him sing	B
Be it mine to fade ere the day beams die	-
And alone in the sighing grass to lie	-
With my dull face turned to the tearless sky	-
A faded forgotten thing	B
