Who sighed his soul to her, and taught her love's true dream.

Beneath the silver moon, resplendent queen,

With simple rites, these mingling souls were wed;

The happy stars looked down, with brighter sheen,

To view love's wretched fears for ever fled;

The wild flowers trembled in their dewy bed,

And up a most enchanting fragrance sent;

The blissful Hours, unnoticed, onward sped;

And, with their gentle music sweetly blent,

The breathing winds and waters murmured their content.
