-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.}}
