Speak, oh speak,
Veena, speak sweetly, speak.
Veena, speak sweetly, speak.
Veena, speak sweetly, speak.

Let peace resound, a chime,
Let peace resound, a chime,
Awake the strings of time.
Awake the strings of time.
Once more, in gentle rhyme,
Once more, in gentle rhyme,
Bless the heart, sublime.
Veena, speak sweetly, speak.
Veena, speak sweetly, speak.

Not the same song today,
Not the same song today,
That awakens clay,
That awakens clay,
Lest companions stray.
Lest companions stray.
Pour forth the nectar's sway.
Veena, speak sweetly, speak.
Veena, speak sweetly, speak.

At dawn, the restless soul does sway,
At dawn, the restless soul does sway,
Seeking calm, lost in disarray.
Seeking calm, lost in disarray.
Grief's fire burns, come what may,
Grief's fire burns, come what may,
Earth and sky begin to sway.
