A Shadow Lyrics by Arthur Sullivan

0

What lack the valleys and mountains
That once were green and gay?
What lack the babbling fountains?
Their voice is sad to-day
Only the sound of a voice
Tender and sweet and low
That made the earth rejoice
A year ago!
What lack the tender flowers?
A shadow is on the sun:
What lack the merry hours
That I long that they were done?
Only two smiling eyes
That told of joy and mirth:
They are shining in the skies
I mourn on earth!
What lacks my heart, that makes it
So weary and full of pain
That trembling Hope forsakes it
Never to come again?
Only another heart
Tender and all mine own
In the still grave it lies;
I weep alone!
