"Just One Word of Consolation" lyrics

Sitting in the twilight pale
In the balmy month of June
As the moon rose o'er the vale
And the zephyr moaned a tune
I was overcome with grief
And my heart beat heavily
But in my muse, I found relief
When these thoughts occur to me

Just one word of consolation
Just a sigh of sympathy
Often helps the situation
When distress or shadows leave

E'en in silent hesitation
When the soul from earth would part
Just one word of consolation
Sometimes soothes a breaking heart

Just one word of consolation
Just a sigh of sympathy
Often helps the situation
When distress or shadows leave

E'en in silent meditation (Ooo)
When the soul from earth would part (Ooo)
Just one word of consolation
Sometimes soothes a breaking heart
