Let not a voice of weeping rise—,

My heart is girt with power

Let the green earth and festal skies

Laugh, as to grace a conqueror's closing hour!

For thee, for thee, my bosom's lord!

Thee, my soul's loved! I die;

Thine is the torch of life restored,

Mine, mine the rapture, mine the victory.

Now may the boundless love, that lay

Unfathomed still before
