HARK 'TIS A VOICE FROM THE TOMB. Scottish, Air (3/4 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. "Hark, hark! 'tis a voice from the tomb!" was a song [Roud No: V21161] written by Edward Moore (1712-1757) (set to music by Dr. Worley) as a sequel to Nicholas Rowe's "Collin's Complaint," one of the most popular pastoral ballads of the century. It was oft-reprinted in the latter 18th and early 19th century in poetry and song collections, under a variety of titles, including "A Ballad," "Lucy," "Colin and Lucy," etc. The first stanza begins:
Hark! hark! 'tis a voice from the tomb!
'Come, Lucy,' it cries, 'come away;
'To grave of thy Colin has room
'To rest thee beside his cold clay.'
"I come, my dear shepherd, I come;
"Ye friends and companions, adieu!
"I haste to my Colin's dark home,
"To lie in his bosom so true!"
