The full sound of harps rings out

Algernon Bennet Langton Ashton

The full sound of harps rings out,

swelling one with love and yearning;

it pierces one to the heart, deeply and anxiously,

and leaves the eyes streaming.

O run, my tears, stream down;

o pound, my heart, and quiver!

Love and Happiness are buried in the grave;

lost is my life!
