The Lost Chord – Arthur Sullivan
Seated one day at the organ, I was
weary and ill at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly over the
noisy keys;
I know not what I was playing, or
what I was dreaming then,
But I struck one chord of music, like
the sound of a great Amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight like
the close of an angel’s Psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit with
the touch infinite calm,
It quieted pain and sorrow like love
overcoming strife,
It seemed the harmonious echo of our
discordant life,
It linked all perplexed meanings into
one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence as if
it were loath to cease;
I have sought but I seek it vainly,
that one lost chord divine
Which came from the soul of the organ
and entered into mine.
It may be that Death’s bright angel
will speak in that chord again;
It may be that only in Heaven I shall
hear that grand Amen,
It may be that Death’s bright angel
will speak in that chord again;
It may be that only in Heaven I shall
hear that grand Amen.
