No melodies within my soul take wing.

Nor in the night, the moon's soft, silver play.
No love, no hope, no dreams, no grace,

Palanquin Bearers:

Lightly, O lightly we bear her along,

She sways like a flower in the wind of our song;

She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream,

She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream. Gaily,

O gaily we glide and we sing,

We bear her along like a pearl on a string. Softly,

O softly we bear her along,

She hangs like a star in the dew of our song;

She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide,

She falls like a tear from the eyes of a bride.

Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing,

We bear her along like a pearl on a string.
