The voice that made those sounds more sweet[ag]

Is hushed, and all their charms are fled;

And now their softest notes repeat

A dirge, an anthem o'er the dead!

Yes, Thyrza! yes, they breathe of thee,

Belovéd dust! since dust thou art;

And all that once was Harmony

Is worse than discord to my heart!
