And all neglect, perforce, must calmly take,

Let me return to you; this turmoil ending

Which worldly cares have in my spirit wrought,

And, o’er your old familiar pages bending,

Refresh my mind with many a tranquil thought:

Till, haply meeting there, from time to time,

Fancies, the audible echo of my own,

’Twill be like hearing in a foreign clime

My native language spoke in friendly tone,

And with a sort of welcome I shall dwell
