O'er the hidden future's gloom."

Summer, 1862.

PREFACE

TO THE [FOURTH EDITION.]

[The Boezberg] for the Rhine I have been leaving,

A home-sick longing stirred my heart within,

Once more that fragrant air I would be breathing

Again would see the town of Fridolin,

As if at my return with joy elated,

She lay there basking in the autumn sun,
