But there smiles a land, O ye troubled pair!

Where ye have no part in the summer air:

Far from the breathings of changeful skies,

Over the seas and the graves it lies;

Where the day of the lightning and cloud is done,

And joy reigns alone, as the lonely sun!

THE NIGHTINGALE’S DEATH-SONG.

“Willst du nach den Nachtigallen fragen,

Die mit seelenvollen melodie

Dich entzuckten in des Lenzes Tagen?
