Album: Helfahrt <br />Lyrics:Whether on Ida's shady brow, <br />Or in the chambers of the East, <br />The chambers of the sun, that now <br />From ancient melody have ceas'd; <br /> <br />Whether in Heav'n ye wander fair, <br />Or the green corners of the earth, <br />Or the blue regions of the air, <br />Where the melodious winds have birth; <br /> <br />Whether on crystal rocks ye rove, <br />Beneath the bosom of the sea <br />Wand'ring in many a coral grove, <br />Fair Nine, forsaking Poetry! <br /> <br />How have you left the ancient love <br />That bards of old enjoy'd in you! <br />The languid strings do scarcely move! <br />The sound is forc'd, the notes are few!
