Now lone and pathless, overflows

With bitter plaint his wearied heart;

Trembling beneath his lute he goes,

And vanquished by a deeper smart.

There is to me a mournful lot,

Deserted quite I wander here;--

Delight and peace to all I brought,

But yet to share them none are near.

To human life, and everything

That mortals have, I lent a bliss;
