Alexander Search last of things

Select language to translate this lyric

Weep for nations and kingdoms
That are dreams within the past
For creeds and for religions
For idols dim down‑cast
Though their glory were a vile one
And a blessing their decay
Yet they are things that have been
Have been and gone away
Weep for all joys departed
For many a departed pain
The heart one day shall desire
That they could come back again
Weep for all things that are gone
Weep for all things that are gone
Weep for all things that are gone
And for those that are not past
