Song information

Artist: Sarah Brightman
Album: Trees They Grow So High

 

Lyrics

Dear harp of my country! in darkness I found thee
The cold chain of silence had hung o'er 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 waken'd thy fondest, thy liveliest thrill;
But so oft has thou echo'd the deep sigh of sadness
That e'en 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 touch'd by some hand less unworthy than mine

If the pulse of the patriot, soldier, or lover
Have throbb'd 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!
