Time: 2/4

-2*-3-4 -3 -2*-3 -56 -5
Ah! So pure, Ah! So bright
-5 5*  6  -4-3 4*3-2*-4-3 -3
Burst her beau-ty on my sight
-2*-3-4 -3 -2*-3-56 -5
Oh! So mild, so di-vine
 4* -2*  -2*   4*   -5   4*  -4
She be-guiled this heart of mine
  -4  -3  3    3  -3   -4
‘Reft of aim, ere she came
 -4   4* -5  -3   -2*   -4  -3
Dark the fu-ture seemed to loom
 -4  -3    3    3    -3     -4
Till her clear bril-liant sphere
-4   4*   -5    -3   -2*   -4   -3
New with light, dis-pelled the gloom
-5    5*  -5    -5   -5  -6
Woe! She fled, quick-ly sped
 5  5* -5  -3  -3*   3    -2
All my joy in fleet-ing gleams
4  4  -5    -5   -5   6
As I wake, hopes for-sake
 6   -5  5* 5*  6   -5    -2*
Rob-bing me of god-like dreams,
-3  4*  -4    -2*
Of god-like dreams
-2*-3-4 -3 -2*-3 -56  -5
Ah! So pure, Ah! So bright
-5 5*  6  -4-3 4*3-2*-4-3 -3
Burst her beau-ty on my sight
-2*-3-4 -3 -2*-4-56 -5
Oh! So mild, so di-vine
 4* -4   -3    3*    3   2   -1
She be-guiled this heart of mine
-5   6   -5   5*  -4   2   -4  -3
Mar-tha, Mar-tha thou hast tak-en
3   -5  -5  -2* -3  3   -2*
Ev-‘ry bliss a-way with thee
-5-6*  6    -5   4*  -4-5  4* -4  -3
Canst thou leave me, thus for-sak-en
 3*   4*  -5   -5   -5   -5  -5
Come and share thy boon with me
 -6*   6   -5   4*   -4  -3
Come share thy boon with me
7... 5*  -5
Yes with me
