Oh! take, young Seraph1, take thy harp2,

And play to me so cheerily;

For grief is dark, and care is sharp,

And life wears on so wearily.

Oh! take thy harp!

Oh! sing as thou wert wont3 to do,

When, all youth’s sunny season long,

I sat and listened to thy song,

And yet ’twas ever, ever new,

With magic in its heaven-tuned string —

The future bliss4 thy constant theme.

Oh! then each little woe5 took wing

Away, like phantoms6 of a dream;

As if each sound

That flutter’d round,

Had floated over Lethe’s stream!

By all those bright and happy hours

We spent in life’s sweet eastern bow’rs,

Where thou wouldst sit and smile, and show,

Ere buds were come, where flowers would blow,

And oft anticipate the rise

Of life’s warm sun that scaled the skies;

By many a story of love and glory,

And friendships promised oft to me;

By all the faith I lent to thee —

Oh! take, young Seraph, take thy harp,

And play to me so cheerily;

For grief is dark, and care is sharp,

And life wears on so wearily.

Oh! take thy harp!

Perchance the strings7 will sound less clear,

That long have lain neglected by

In sorrow’s misty8 atmosphere;

It ne’er may speak as it hath spoken

Such joyous9 notes so brisk and high;

But are its golden chords all broken?

Are there not some, though weak and low,

To play a lullaby to woe?

But thou canst sing of love no more,

For Celia show’d that dream was vain;

And many a fancied bliss is o’er,

That comes not e’en in dreams again.

Alas10! alas!

How pleasures pass,

And leave thee now no subject, save

The peace and bliss beyond the grave!

Then be thy flight among the skies:

Take, then, oh! take the skylark’s wing,

And leave dull earth, and heavenward rise

O’er all its tearful clouds, and sing

On skylark’s wing!

Another life-spring there adorns11

Another youth — without the dread12

Of cruel care, whose crown of thorns

Is here for manhood’s aching head.

Oh! there are realms of welcome day,

A world where tears are wiped away!

Then be thy flight among the skies:

Take, then, oh! take the skylark’s wing,

And leave dull earth, and heavenward rise

O’er all its tearful clouds, and sing

On skylark’s wing!
