| O mighty Spirits never to be stilled | C |

| My love is fair as a voice that sings | J |
| In a scented garden of joyous flowers | B |
| Do the old walls keep their buried things | J |
| Yet the air is astir as with throbbing of wings | J |
| And heaven with the springing of the towers | B |
| - | |
| The hills lift a loneliness around | K |
| But my love has a light about her head | L |
| And as if they uttered names renowned | K |
| Bells from the towers to the silences resound | K |
| Voices of the youth of the dead | L |
