nelson olmsted - lenore كلمات أغنية

ah broken is the golden bowl! the spirit flown forever!
let the bell toll!__a saintly soul floats on the stygian river;
and, guy de vere, hast thou no tear?__weep now or never more!
see! on yon drear and rigid bier low lies thy love, lenore!
come! let the burial rite be read__the funeral song be sung!__
an anthem for the queenliest dead that ever died so young__
a dirge for her the doubly dead in that she died so young

“wretches! ye loved her for her wealth and hated her for her pride
“and when she fell in feeble health, ye blessed her__that she died!
“how shall the ritual, then, be read?__the requiem how be sung
“by you__by yours, the evil eye,__by yours, the slanderous tongue
“that did to death the innocent that died, and died so young?”

peccavimus; but rave not thus! and let a sabbath song
go up to god so solemnly the dead may feel so wrong!
the sweet lenore hath “gone before,” with hope, that flew beside
leaving thee wild for the dear child that should have been thy bride__
for her, the fair and debonair, that now so lowly lies
the life upon her yellow hair but not within her eyes__
the life still there, upon her hair__the death upon her eyes

“avaunt! to_night my heart is light. no dirge will i upraise
“but waft the angel on her flight with a pæan of old days!
“let no bell toll!__lest her sweet soul, amid its hallowed mirth
“should catch the note, as it doth float up from the d_mnéd earth
“to friends above, from fiends below, the indignant ghost is riven__
“from h_ll unto a high estate far up within the heaven__
“from grief and groan, to a golden throne, beside the king of heaven.”
