Hob. XXVIa:41
The Spirit’s Song
Hark! Hark, what I tell to thee,Nor sorrow o’er the tomb;My spirit wanders free,And waits till thine shall come.All pensive and alone,I see thee sit and weep,Thy head upon the stoneWhere my cold ashes sleep.I watch thy speaking eyes,And mark each falling tear;I catch thy passing sighs,Ere they are lost in air.

The Spirit’s Song
Hark! Hark, what I tell to thee,
Nor sorrow o’er the tomb;
My spirit wanders free,
And waits till thine shall come.
All pensive and alone,
I see thee sit and weep,
Thy head upon the stone
Where my cold ashes sleep.
I watch thy speaking eyes,
And mark each falling tear;
I catch thy passing sighs,
Ere they are lost in air.
