Hear the voice of the Bard!

Who present, past, and future sees;

Whose ears have heard

The Holy Word,
Bb7 F7
That walked among the ancient trees,

Calling the lapsed soul,

And weeping in the evening dew;

That might control

The starry pole,
Bb7 F7
And fallen, fallen, light renew!
Chorus:
C7 F7
'O Earth, O Earth, return!

Arise from out the dewy grass;

And the morn

Rises from the slumberous mass.

'Turn away no more;

Why wilt thou turn away?

The starry floor,

The watery shore,
Bb7 F7
Is given thee till the break of day.

Rises from the slumberous mass.

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