I.

Now have I reach'd the goal of my desire,

For thou hast sworn—as sweetly as a bell

Makes out its chime—the oath I love to tell,

The fealty-oath of which I never tire.

The lordly forest seems a giant's lyre,

And sings, and rings, the thoughts that o'er it swell.

The air is fill'd with voices. I have found

Comfort at last, enthralment, and a joy
