Alfred Lord Tennyson
The splendour falls on castle walls
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; 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; 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
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying
