The happiest dayвБ†вАФthe happiest hour + 

My seared and blighted heart hath known, + 

The highest hope of pride and power, + 

I feel hath flown. + 

II + 

Of power! said I? Yes! such I ween + 

But they have vanished long, alas! + 

The visions of my youth have beenвБ†вАФ + 

But let them pass. + 

III + 

And pride, what have I now with thee? + 

Another brow may evвАЩn inherit + 

The venom thou hast poured on meвБ†вАФ + 

Be still my spirit! + 

IV + 

The happiest dayвБ†вАФthe happiest hour + 

Mine eyes shall seeвБ†вАФhave ever seen + 

The brightest glance of pride and power + 

I feet have been: + 

But were that hope of pride and power + 

Now offered with the pain + 

EvвАЩn then I feltвБ†вАФthat brightest hour + 

I would not live again: + 

For on its wing was dark alloy + 

And as it flutteredвБ†вАФfell + 

An essenceвБ†вАФpowerful to destroy + 

A soul that knew it well. + 
