1. Far, far from each other
(Sung text)

Language: English

 ... 

Far, far from each other
Our spirits have flown.
And what heart knows another?
Ah! who knows his own?

Blow, ye winds! lift me with you
I come to the wild.
Fold closely, O Nature!
Thine arms round thy child.

 ... 

Ah, calm me! restore me
And dry up my tears
On thy high mountain platforms,
Where Morn first appears,

2. Where is it that our soul doth go?
(Sung text)

Language: English

 ... 

One thing I'd know : when we have perished,
  Where is it that our soul doth go?
Where is the fire that is extinguished?
  Where is the wind but now did blow?

3. Music, when soft voices die
(Sung text)

Language: English

Music, when soft voices die,	
Vibrates in the memory;
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the belovèd's bed;
And so my thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
