¶Lyrics / Text

Purple glow the forest mountains In the sun’s departing beam, Lovely shines the star of even Mirrored in the crystal stream. Dark as in sepulchral chambers Lowers the gloomy poplar grove, Nought but gently whispering branches There is heard or seen to move: Save where Philomela singing Softly from a greenwood tree To the dew-bespangled roses Pours her lovelorn melody. Soon, perhaps, on such an evening I shall hear thy voice resound, Sadly singing to the roses Which my early grave surround. Then my soul shall listen to thy numbers, Listen as it listens now, While the breezes waft they music O’er thy flowery mountain’s brow.
