Sarah Brightman - Dear Harp Of My Country! Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Dear harp of my country! in darkness I found thee,
  • The cold chain of silence had hung oer thee long;
  • When proudly, my own island harp! I unbound thee,
  • And gave all thy chords to light, freedom, and song!
  • The warm lay of love and the light tone of gladness
  • Have wakend thy fondest, thy liveliest thrill;
  • But so oft has thou echod the deep sigh of sadness,
  • That een in thy mirth it will steal from thee still.
  • Dear harp of my country! farewell to thy numbers.
  • This sweet wreath of song is the last we shall twine;
  • Go, sleep with the sunshine of fame on thy slumbers,
  • Till touchd by some hand less unworthy than mine.
  • If the pulse of the patriot, soldier, or lover,
  • Have throbbd at our lay, tis thy glory alone;
  • I was but as the wind, passing heedlessly over,
  • And all the wild sweetness I waked was thy own!
