Bb Gm F Eb
[Verse 1]
Bb Gm F Eb
In youth's spring, it was my lot
Bb Gm F Eb
To haunt of the wide earth a spot
Bb Gm F Eb
To which I could not love the less
Bb Gm F Eb
So lovely was the loneliness
Bb Gm F Eb
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound
Bb Gm F Eb
And the tall trees that towered around
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
But when the night had thrown her pall
Dm Eb
Upon that spot as upon all
Cm
And the wind would pass me by
Eb D7
In its stilly melody
[Chorus]
Eb
My infant spirit would awake
F Gm
To the terror of the lone lake
Eb
My infant spirit would awake
F Bb
To the terror of the lone lake
Gm F Eb
[Verse 2]
Bb Gm
Yet that terror was not fright
F Eb
But a tremulous delight
Bb Gm
And a feeling undefined
F Eb
Springing from a darkened mind
Bb Gm
Death was in that poisoned wave
F Eb Bb
And in its gulf, a fitting grave
Gm
For him who thence could solace bring
F Eb
To his dark imagining
Bb Gm
Whose wildering thought could even make
F Eb
An Eden of that dim lake
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
But when the night had thrown her pall
Dm Eb
Upon that spot as upon all
Cm
And the wind would pass me by
Eb D7
In its stilly melody
[Chorus]
Eb
My infant spirit would awake
F Gm
To the terror of the lone lake
Eb
My infant spirit would awake
F Gm
To the terror of the lone lake
Eb
My infant spirit would awake
F Bb Gm
To the terror of the lake
[Bridge]
F
Springing from a darkened mind
Eb Bb
So lovely was the loneliness
Gm
In youth's spring, it was my lot
F Eb
In its stilly melody
[Outro]
Bb Gm
An Eden of that dim lake
F Eb
An Eden of that dim lake
Bb
Lone, lone, lonely
Gm
Lone, lone, lonely
F Eb
Lone, lone, lonely
