\n A<\/b> Flute of farewell calls and calls,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Farewell to earthly
\nthings:<\/span><\/p>\n

But when shall I the message learn<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>That high-voiced music
\nsings ?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Earth’s pleasures come like scented winds,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Invite a mortal clasp:<\/span><\/p>\n

I seek to keep them in my clutch,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Captives of a vain grasp!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

How shall thy nectar fill this cup,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Brimming with passion’s
\nwine? <\/span><\/p>\n

Only when the turn of day is done<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Thy starry lamps can
\nshine,<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever to the eager cry of hope<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Re-echoes the heart’s
\nlyre, <\/span><\/p>\n

Will it answer to thy Song of songs<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>That climbs beyond desire
\n?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Arise now in my shadowy soul<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>And let it sing farewell <\/span><\/p>\n

To the near glow, the intimate voice,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Familiar conch and bell!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

For little lights I crave no more,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now shall I silently <\/span><\/p>\n

Turn towards my heaven and greater home:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Thy far Eternity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
