CHOPIN'S NOCTURNE IN G MINOR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Faint through the twilight hazes
Last Line: The angelus dies afar.
Subject(s): Chopin, Frederic Francois (1810-1849)


Faint through the twilight hazes
Shimmers one palpitant star;
Faint through the woodland mazes
The Angelus sounds afar.

Only the brook's murmur golden
Falls on the wanderer's ear;
Voices of memories olden
The soul holds breath to hear.

Voices of joy and sorrow
Vanished and far away
As the dawn of the sun-bathed morrow
Seems from this dying day,

When faint through the twilight hazes
Shimmers eve's palpitant star;
And faint through the woodland mazes
The Angelus dies afar.
