The Splendour Falls

Lyrics

The splendour falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story: The long light shakes across the lakes And the wild cataract leaps in glory: Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying Blow, bugle. blow; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying O hark, O hear how thin and clear And thinner, clearer, farther going! O sweet and far from cliff and scar The horns of Elfland faintly blowing! Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying: Blow, bugle, blow; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying O love, they die in yon rich sky They faint on hill or field or river: Our echoеs roll from soul to soul And grow for ever and for evеr Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying Blow, bugle, blow; echoes answer, dying, dying, dying
