Akin To One In Paradise (Alternative)

Thou wast all that to me

For whom my soul did pine

A green island in sea

A fountain and a shrine



A dream to bright to last

But to be overcast

A voice from future cries

My spirit hovering lies



The light of life is over

No more shall bloom the thunder blasted tree

Or the stricken eagle soar!

Such language holds the solemn sea

To sands upon the shore

For alas with me

The light of life is over



And all my nightly dreams

Are where thy dark eyes glance

And where my footstep gleams

In what ethereal dance



The light of life is over

No more shall bloom the thunder blasted tree

Or the stricken eagle soar!

Such language holds the solemn sea

To sands upon the shore

For alas with me

The light of life is over



The light of life is over

No more shall bloom the thunder blasted tree

Or the stricken eagle soar!

Such language holds the solemn sea

To sands upon the shore

For alas with me

The light of life is over
