A Powerpoint Presentation with music.

Shadow and Light


Music: Thomas Moore, 1779-1852
Lyrics: John Stevenson, 1761-1833

'Tis the Last Rose of Summer.

'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming all alone,
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flower of her kindred,
No rose bud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go sleep thou with them;
'Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.

So soon may I follow
When friendships decay,
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?


Shadow and Light

Thank you for presenting that beautiful Power Point Presentation! The castles are so lovely, especially at night. The music is haunting, but the words so sad........
