stephen foster - where is thy spirit, mary? lyrics

Loading...

where is thy spirit, mary?
dwells it in the air?
friends thou hast forsaken
fondly deem ’tis ling’ring there
i heard an old+time ballad
low and plaintive was the strain
so pure and clear, i seem’d to hear
they gentle voice again
she who sang was lovely
she was innocent and fair
and i said, if angels guard us
thy sweet spirit lingers there

where is thy spirit, mary?
watching while we sleep?
dost weep for those who wept for thee?
do angels ever wee;?
the autumn leaf had wilted
ere thou hadst lost thy bloom
but when that leaf had left its stem
it settled on thy tomb
spring birds now returning
with their music fill the air
and we know by that sweet warning
that thy spirit lingers there
