## The words

Hark!  
Hark!  
what I tell to thee!  
Nor sorrow o'er the tomb, nor sorrow o'er the  
tomb;  
My Spirit wanders free, my Spirit wanders  
free, And waits, and waits till thine shall  
come.  
All pensive and alone,  
I see thee sit and weep, Thy heart upon the  
stone,  
Where my cold ashes sleep,  
where my cold ashes sleep.  
I watch thy speaking eyes, And mark each  
falling tear,  
I catch thy passing sighs,  
I catch thy passing sighs,  
Ere they are lost in air.  
Hark!  
Hark!  
what I tell to thee!  
Nor sorrow, nor sorrow o'er the tomb.  
My Spirit wanders free, my Spirit wanders  
free, And waits  
till thine  
shall come.  
My Spirit wanders free,  
And waits,  
and waits till thine shall come,  
till thine shall come.
