Blow, Bugle, blow

1809-1892


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 echoes roll from soul to soul,
         And grow for ever and for ever.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying.
