Текст (слова) песни: Sarah Brightman - Dear Harp of my country!
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!
