Out of another world you come to me
And hollow, hollow, hollow as the tomb
Sound the indifferent words that speak my doom
And hollow, hollow, hollow can it be
My voice that sounds so strangely in my ears
You bid me speak, and I, in dumb despair
Forgetting all my agonies of prayer
Beckon to you across a mist of tears
All’s over now I know that you are lost
And love is dead, for I have met Love’s ghost
