Lyrics

It died in beauty, like a rose blown from its parent stem;
It died in beauty, like a pearl drop'd from some diadem,
It died in beauty like a lay, A long a moonlit lake,
It died in beauty like the song of birds amid the brake,
It died in beauty like the snow, on flowers disolv'd away;
It died in beauty like a star, lost on the brow of day.
