Akin - To One In Paradise lyrics

Thou wast all that to me For whom my soul did pine A green island in sea A fountain and a shrine A dream to bright to last But to be overcast A voice from future cries My spirit hovering lies For alas! Alas! With me The light of life is over No more - no more - no more Shall bloom the thunder blasted tree For alas! Alas! With me The light of life is over No more - no more - no more Shall the stricken eagle soar! And all my nightly dreams Are where thy dark eyes glance And where my footstep gleams In what ethereal dance For alas! Alas! With me The light of life is over No more - no more - no more Shall bloom the thunder blasted tree For alas! Alas! With me The light of life is over No more - no more - no more Shall the stricken eagle soar! The light of life with me Shall now be seen no more Such language of the sea To sands upon the shore For alas! Alas! With me The light of life is over No more - no more - no more Shall bloom the thunder blasted tree For alas! Alas! With me The light of life is over No more - no more - no more Shall the stricken eagle soar!
