"St. Joseph's hermitage is lone,

Amidst the desert bare,

And when we on our way are gone,

Awhile we'll rest us there;

As we pursue our mountain track,

Shall we not sigh as we look back?

"Go to my love, O gentle sigh,

And near her chamber hover nigh;

Glide to her heart, make that thy shrine,

As she is fondly kept in mine.
