McKinley
Loosed is the silver cord of life.
The captive soul is free
From carp and care, from toil and strife.
Loosed is the silver cord of life,
A soul in manly virtue rife,
Beloved from sea to sea.
Loosed is the silver cord of life,
The captive soul is free.The Pitcher’s broken at the well,
And broke the golden Bowl.
How cool the waters none may tell!
The Pitcher’s broken at the well,
The sparkling draughts we loved so well
No longer cheers [sic] the soul.
The Pitcher’s broken at the well,
And broke the golden Bowl.Ne’er were a Bowl so finely wrought,
Nor Pitcher of such mold—
Tho’ far and near their like be sought—
Ne’er were a Bowl so finely wrought
Embodying the Artist’s thought
So well in costly gold.
Ne’er were a Bowl so finely wrought,
Nor Pitcher of such mold.
