¶Lyrics / Text

I whisper among the feathery grass, And dimple the rivulet as I pass, In the flower-starred field, on the sunlit hill, In the flow'rstarr'd field, on the sunlit hill, Fetterless, joyful, I roam at my will. And oft in a headlong, hurrying chase, I drive the clouds thro' the azure space; Then dropping I laugh in gathered sheaves, Or whirl in a dance with the fallen leaves. O'er the deep, deep ocean, a master am I, As I mockingly hurl his waves on high, And the foundering ships on the rocks I break; Then turning I laugh at the havoc I make. Thro' the churchyard in silence I wonderingly pass, And scarce care to linger and play with the grass; But I drop as I sobbingly hold in my breath, And for once am subdued in the presence of death. I tremblingly whisper around the old church And wail in the ivy leaves over the porch; Then entering softly I hush to a sigh, For a spirit is there, who is greater than I.
