The veil of mortal being rent in twain,

And smile that I am free?

In the third circle of that happy land,

Shall we not seek together, hand in hand,

Another lovelier landscape, a new plain,

Other romantic streams and mountains blue,

And other vales, and a new shady shore,

When I may rest, and ever in my view

Keep thee, without the terror and surprise

Of being sunder’d more!
