Verse 1:
F7
Hear the voice of the Bard!
Bb7                           F7
Who present, past, and future sees;
F7
Whose ears have heard
F7
The Holy Word,
Bb7                           F7
That walked among the ancient trees,

Verse 2:
F7
Calling the lapsed soul,
Bb7                        F7
And weeping in the evening dew;
F7
That might control
F7
The starry pole,
Bb7                         F7
And fallen, fallen, light renew!

Chorus:
   C7                F7
'O Earth, O Earth, return!
C7                       F7
Arise from out the dewy grass;
C7
Night is worn,
        F7
And the morn
C7                        F7
Rises from the slumberous mass.

Verse 3:
F7
'Turn away no more;
Bb7                F7
Why wilt thou turn away?
F7
The starry floor,
F7
The watery shore,
Bb7                             F7
Is given thee till the break of day.

Chorus:
   C7                F7
'O Earth, O Earth, return!
C7                       F7
Arise from out the dewy grass;
C7
Night is worn,
        F7
And the morn
C7                        F7
Rises from the slumberous mass.

F7            C7
'Turn away no more;
Bb7               F7
till the break of day.
