《Sullivan: The Lost Chord》歌词

[00:00:21] seated one day at the organ,

[00:00:25] i was weary and ill at ease,

[00:00:30] and my fingers wandered idly

[00:00:35] over the noisy keys.

[00:00:39] i know not what i was playing,

[00:00:44] or what i was dreaming then;

[00:00:49] but i struck one chord of music,

[00:00:52] like the sound of a great amen.

[00:01:17] it flooded the crimson twilight,

[00:01:21] like the close of an angel's psalm,

[00:01:26] and it lay on my fevered spirit

[00:01:30] with a touch of infinite calm.

[00:01:34] it quieted pain and sorrow,

[00:01:39] like love overcoming strife;

[00:01:43] it seemed the harmonious echo

[00:01:48] from our discordant life.

[00:01:52] it linked all perplexed meanings

[00:01:57] into one perfect peace,

[00:02:01] and trembled away into silence

[00:02:06] as if it were loth to cease.

[00:02:11] i have sought, but i seek it vainly,

[00:02:15] that one lost chord divine,

[00:02:19] which came from the soul of the organ,

[00:02:24] and entered into mine.

[00:02:36] it may be that death's bright angel

[00:02:42] will speak in that chord again,

[00:02:46] it may be that only in heav'n

[00:02:51] i shall hear that grand amen.
