INVOCATIO !
COME from a distant hour ! Come from the far away ! Draw near in mystic pow ' r , To cheer and bless to-day ;
Invocatio!
Once more in olden grace Light up this lonely room , With the brightness of thy face Dispel its growing gloom . Kind Fairy of the past , Thy loving visage seems
A radiance to cast Over all darker dreams ; Thy g lad smile has imported , As in the vanish ' d years , A life to joys departed , A tenderness to tears .
How pleasant still thou art As once thou wert of old , When to my trusting heart Thou did ' st in grace unfold , Thy loyalty and truth , Thy g ifts so rich and rare , The glories of thy youth , Soft promises and fair .
Oh , pleasant , pleasant dream , Thy face again I see , If a fair fantastic gleam , Yet all of happiness to me ; But , alas ! that loving vision Has softly , swiftly fled , To tell in its dark transition , Of hopes buried with the dead !
Come , then , and linger still By my weary side to-day , Banish each grief and ill , Bid doubt to haste away ; Under thy sway benign , Under thy gentle spell ,
Mine is a Presence half Divine , A Trust no tongue can tell . NEMO .
