David the Bard on his bed of death lies
Pale are his features and dim are his eyes
Yet all around him his gaze wildly rose
Still it alights on the harp that he loves
Give me, my half, my companion for sorrow
Let it once more add its voice to my song
Though my four fingers are pausing and wavering
Still my good heart for its master will sing
Give me, my half, my companion for sorrow
Let it once more add its voice to my song
Though my four fingers are pausing and wavering
Still my good heart for its master will sing
