          VERSE�此                   �SENT TO HEAVEN 



     I had a Message to send her�察�To her whom my soul loved best�察�But I 

had my task to finish。 And she was gone home to rest。 

     To rest in the far bright heaven�此�Oh�察�so far away from here�察�It was vain 

to speak to my darling�察�For I knew she could not hear� �

     I had a message to send her。 So tender�察�and true�察�and sweet�察�I longed 

for an Angel to bear it�察�And lay it down at her feet。 

     I placed it�察�one summer evening�察�On a Cloudlet's fleecy breast�察�But it 

faded in golden splendour�察�And died in the crimson west。 

     I gave it the Lark next morning�察�And I watched it soar and soar�察�But its 

pinions grew faint and weary�察�And it fluttered to earth once more。 

     To   the   heart   of   a   Rose   I   told   it�察  �And   the   perfume�察  �sweet   and   rare�察�

Growing faint on the blue bright ether�察�Was lost in the balmy air。 

     I laid it upon a Censer�察�And I saw the incense rise�察�But its clouds of 

rolling silver Could not reach the far blue skies。 

     I cried�察�in my passionate longing�此� ;Has the earth no Angel´friend Who 

will carry my love the message That my heart desires to send�拭─�

     Then I heard a strain of music�察�So mighty�察�so pure�察�so clear�察�That my 

very sorrow was silent�察�And my heart stood still to hear。 

     And   I   felt�察 �in   my  soul's   deep   yearning�察�At   last the   sure   answer   stir�此� 

;The music will go up to Heaven�察�And carry my thought to her。; 

     It   rose   in   harmonious   rushing   Of   mingled   voices   and   strings。 And   I 

tenderly laid my message On the Music's outspread wings。 

     I heard it float farther and farther�察�In sound more perfect than speech�察�

Farther than sight can follow。 Farther than soul can reach。 

     And   I   know   that   at   last   my   message   Has   passed   through   the   golden 

gate�此�So my heart is no longer restless�察�And I am content to wait。

               VERSE�此                   �NEVER AGAIN 



     ;Never again� ─�vow hearts when reunited�察 �Never again shall Love be 

cast   aside�察  �For   ever   now   the   shadow   has   departed�察  �Nor   bitter   sorrow�察�

veiled in scornful pride�察�Shall feign indifference�察�or affect disdain�察 � Never�察�

oh Love�察�again�察�never again� ─�

     ;Never   again� ─  �so   sobs�察�in   broken   accents�察�A  soul   laid prostrate   at   a 

holy shrine�察 � ;Once more�察�once more forgive�察�oh Lord�察�and pardon�察�My 

wayward   life   shall   bend   to   love   divine�察  �And   never   more   shall   sin   its 

whiteness stain�察 � Never�察�oh God�察�again�察�never again� ─�

     ;Never again��' so speaketh one forsaken�察�In the blank desolate passion 

of despair�察 � ;Never again shall the bright dream I cherished Delude my 

heart�察�for bitter truth is there�察 � The angel�察�Hope�察�shall still thy cruel pain 

Never again�察�my heart�察�never again� ─�

     ;Never again� ─�so speaks the sudden silence�察�When round the hearth 

gathers each well´known face�察 � But one is missing�察�and no future presence�察�

However       dear�察 �can   fill  that  vacant   place�察  �For  ever   shall  the   burning 

thought remain�察 � ;Never�察�beloved�察�again� �never again� ─�

     ;Never again� ─�sobut beyond our hearing ´ Ring out far voices fading 

up   the   sky�察  �Never   again   shall   earthly   care   and   sorrow   Weigh   down   the 

wings     that  bear   those   souls   on  high�察  �Listen�察  �oh   earth�察 �and   hear   that 

glorious strain�察 � ;Never�察�never again� �never again� ─�

       VERSE�此                   �LISTENING ANGELS 



     Blue   against   the   bluer   Heavens   Stood   the   mountain�察  �calm   and   still�察�

Two white Angels�察�bending earthward�察�Leant upon the hill。 

     Listening   leant   those   silent Angels�察�And   I   also   longed   to   hear   What 

sweet strain of earthly music Thus could charm their ear。 

     I   heard   the   sound   of   many   trumpets   In   a   warlike   march   draw   nigh�察�

Solemnly a mighty army Passed in order by。 

     But   the   clang   had   ceased�察  �the   echoes   Soon   had   faded   from   the   hill�察�

While the Angels�察�calm and earnest�察�Leant and listened still。 

     Then   I heard   a   fainter   clamour�察  �Forge   and   wheel   were   clashing   near 

And the Reapers in the meadow Singing loud and clear。 

     When the sunset came in glory�察�And the toil of day was o'er�察�Still the 

Angels leant in silence�察�Listening as before。 

     Then�察�as daylight slowly vanished�察�And the evening mists grew dim�察�

Solemnly from distant voices Rose a vesper hymn。 

     When   the   chant   was   done�察  �and   lingering   Died   upon   the   evening   air�察�

From the hill the radiant Angels Still were listening there。 

     Silent   came   the   gathering   darkness�察  �Bringing   with   it   sleep   and   rest�察�

Save a little bird was singing Near her leafy nest。 

     Through the sounds of war and labour She had warbled all day long�察�

While the Angels leant and listened Only to her song。 

     But the starry night was coming�察�When she ceased her little lay From 

the mountain top the Angels Slowly passed away。

    Golden dayswhere are they�拭�Pilgrims east and west Cry�察�if we could 

find them We would pause and rest�此�We would pause and rest a little From 

our long and weary ways�此� Where are they�察�then�察�where are they ´ Golden

    Golden dayswhere are they�拭�Farther up the hill I can hear the echo 

Faintly calling still�此�Faintly calling�察�faintly dying�察�In a far´off misty haze�此�
