Awake, O Muse

awake, o muse, let’s once more fly
the verdant valleys below the sky,
let’s bathe eternal in love’s sweet rain
and wash our wounds to dull the pain.

awake, o muse, let’s once more sing
the songs of yore that bubble like spring,
let’s float along old melodious strains
and gingerly gather blooms again.

awake, o muse, let’s once more dwell
above the clouds we knew so well;
and resting there our thoughts abide,
to live in peace and age defied.
