O'er the dark pines she sees the silver moon	A
And in the west all tremulous a star	B
And soothing sweet she hears the mellow tune	A
Of cow bells jangled in the fields afar	B
	-
Quite listless for her daily stent is done	C
She stands sad exile at her rose wreathed door	D
And sends her love eternal with the sun	C
That goes to gild the land she'll see no more	D
	-
The grave gaunt pines imprison her sad gaze	E
All still the sky and darkling drearily	F
She feels the chilly breath of dear dead days	E
Come sifting through the alders eerily	F
	-
Oh how the roses riot in their bloom	G
The curtains stir as with an ancient pain	H
Her old piano gleams from out the gloom	G
And waits and waits her tender touch in vain	H
	-
But now her hands like moonlight brush the keys	I
With velvet grace melodious delight	J
And now a sad refrain from over seas	I
Goes sobbing on the bosom of the night	J
	-
And now she sings O singer in the gloom	G
Voicing a sorrow we can ne'er express	K
Here in the Farness where we few have room	G
Unshamed to show our love and tenderness	L
	-
Our hearts will echo till they beat no more	D
That song of sadness and of motherland	M
And stretched in deathless love to England's shore	D
Some day she'll hearken and she'll understand	M
	-
A prima donna in the shining past	N
But now a mother growing old and gray	O
She thinks of how she held a people fast	N
In thrall and gleaned the triumphs of a day	O
	-
She sees a sea of faces like a dream	P
She sees herself a queen of song once more	D
She sees lips part in rapture eyes agleam	P
She sings as never once she sang before	D
	-
She sings a wild sweet song that throbs with pain	H
The added pain of life that transcends art	Q
A song of home a deep celestial strain	H
The glorious swan song of a dying heart	Q
	-
A lame tramp comes along the railway track	R
A grizzled dog whose day is nearly done	C
He passes pauses then comes slowly back	R
And listens there an audience of one	C
	-
She sings her golden voice is passion fraught	S
As when she charmed a thousand eager ears	T
He listens trembling and she knows it not	U
And down his hollow cheeks roll bitter tears	V
	-
She ceases and is still as if to pray	O
There is no sound the stars are all alight	J
Only a wretch who stumbles on his way	O
Only a vagrant sobbing in the night	J
