Whence every longing stormfully outflows,

And where again, though broken and dispersed,

Each longing calmly mingles into one.

Ye know me not, ye saw me not becoming.--

Who witnessed me upon that happy eve,

When, a night-wanderer yet, I found at length

For the first time myself? Then flowed there not

A shudder of sweet rapture over you?

Entirely hid in honey-cups I lay;

I breathed a fragrance, calmly waved the flowers
