Thou wast all that to me

For whom my soul did pine

A green island in sea

A fountain and a shrine



A dream to bright to last

But to be overcast

A voice from future cries

My spirit hovering lies



For alas! Alas! With me

The light of life is over

No more - no more - no more

Shall bloom the thunder blasted tree

For alas! Alas! With me

The light of life is over

No more - no more - no more

Shall the stricken eagle soar!



And all my nightly dreams

Are where thy dark eyes glance

And where my footstep gleams

In what ethereal dance



For alas! Alas! With me

The light of life is over

No more - no more - no more

Shall bloom the thunder blasted tree

For alas! Alas! With me

The light of life is over

No more - no more - no more

Shall the stricken eagle soar!



The light of life with me

Shall now be seen no more

Such language of the sea

To sands upon the shore



For alas! Alas! With me

The light of life is over

No more - no more - no more

Shall bloom the thunder blasted tree

For alas! Alas! With me

The light of life is over

No more - no more - no more

Shall the stricken eagle soar!
