Speak, speak, music, and bring to me
Fancies too fleet for me
Sweetness too sweet for me
Wake, wake, voices, and sing to me
Sing to me tenderly; bid me rest

Rest, rest! ah, I am fain of it!
Die, Hope! small was my gain of it!
Song, song take thy parable
Whisper, whisper that all is well

Say, say that there tarrieth
Something, something more true than death
Waiting to smile for me; bright and blest

Thrill, thrill, string: echo and play for me
All, all that the poet, the priest cannot say for mе;
Soar, voice, soar, heavenwards, and pray for mе
Wondering, wandering; bid me rest
