1. CHORUS

[Guiltless sufferer, cease to sorrow]

Guiltless sufferer, cease to sorrow;
Care from thy sad heart dismiss:
When thine eyes unclose to-morrow,
Wake to life, and live to bliss.
Clouds around the Phantom lour!
Vengeance, 'tis thy fated hour,
Pealing thunders speak it near.
See, he struggles! vain endeavour!
See, he dies, he's lost for ever!
Mortals, view his fate, and fear!
Now from earth his flight addressing,
Upwards see the spirit move:
Youth, receive his parting blessing,
Pledge of pardon, pledge of love.
Sweet his angel-accents swell:
Adelmorn, farewell, farewell!
