Songteksten

Life and its follies are fading away,
Love hath departed, why then should I stay?
Cold is my pale cheek and furrowed with care,
Dim is my eyesight, and snow-white my hair.
Near me, in silence, my harp lies unstrung,
Weak are my fingers, and falt’ring my tongue!
Tuneful companion, we parted must be;
Thou canst no longer bring comfort to me.
Yet ere we sever, thy master would fain
Swan-like expire in a last dying strain;
And when above him the cypress bough wave,
Spirits shall murmur it over his grave.
John Hughes (1873-1932)
English: Thomas Oliphant
Written by: David Owen, John Ceiriog Hughes
