Thou art mourning now o’er a broken spell;

Thou hast pour’d thy heart’s rich treasures forth,

And art unrepaid for their priceless worth!

Mourn on!—yet come thou not here the while,

It is but a pain to see thee smile!

There is not a tone in our songs for thee—

Home with thy sorrows flee!

Ring, joyous chords!—ring out again!——

But what dost thou with the revel’s train?

A silvery voice through the soft air floats,
