The Music of another Spring.
1836.
The music of another spring
I hear, that thought not to have heard;
And seems it as no bird on wing
Sung ever like yon early bird!
I hear, that thought not to have heard;
And seems it as no bird on wing
Sung ever like yon early bird!
Amid the silence of the morn,
In these sweet notes that thrill my heart,
A hope is to my bosom borne—
I shall not—yet—from earth depart!
In these sweet notes that thrill my heart,
A hope is to my bosom borne—
I shall not—yet—from earth depart!
Fair earth—when spring-flowers round me bloom!
Sweet time—when spring-birds round me sing!
O! but the grave's a thought of gloom,
When all the land is gay with spring!
Sweet time—when spring-birds round me sing!
O! but the grave's a thought of gloom,
When all the land is gay with spring!
