James Russell Lowell,
The Riverside song book — She came and went
(1893)
“ O, when the room grows slow - ly dim, And life's last oil is cres. leaves un - bent, So is my mem - 'ry thrill'd and stirred; I less con - tent, So my soul held that mo - ment's heaven; I of my tent; The tent is struck, the vi - sion stays; I near - ly spent, One gush of light these eyes will brim. On on - ly know she came and went, So is my mem - 'ry on - ly know she came and went, So my soul held that on - ly know she came and went. The tent is struck, the ly to think she came and went. One gush of light these thrilled and stirred; I on - ly know she came and went. ”
