Lonely I wander, weeping for my lost one!

Come, in the dreamy shadow of the night,

And speak to me! E’en though thy voice be changed,

My heart would know it still. Oh, speak to me!

And say if yet, in some dim, far-off world,

Which knows not how the festal sunshine burns,

If yet, in some pale mead of asphodel,

We two shall meet again! Oh, I would quit

The day rejoicingly—the rosy light—

All the rich flowers and fountains musical,
