Lyrics 

Storgè
 Some dire event hangs o'er our heads,
 Some woeful song we have to sing
 In misery extreme. O never, never
 Was my foreboding mind distrest before
 With such incessant pangs.
 Storgè
 Scenes of horror, scenes of woe,
 Rising from the shades below,
 Add new terror to the night;
 While in never-ceasing pain,
 That attends the servile chain,
 Joyless flow the hours of light.
 Scenes of horror. . . da capo
