To One in Paradise Lyrics
Thou wast all that to me, love,
For which my soul did pine-
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.
Ah, dream too bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from the Future cries,
'On! on!' my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!
And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
For, alas! alas! me
For me the light of Life is over!
'No more- no more- no more-'
To the sands upon the shore
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree
Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
For which my soul did pine-
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from the Future cries,
'On! on!' my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
For me the light of Life is over!
'No more- no more- no more-'
To the sands upon the shore
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree
Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
