Tapers (Herrick, set by F. Hart) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Those tapers which we set upon the grave
In fun'ral pomp, but this importance have:
[Pg 231] That souls departed are not put out quite;
But as they walked here in their vestures white,
So live in heaven in everlasting light.
