By distant wood and lake,
Where distant fountains break
From the ground.
No bower where maidens dwell
Can win a moment’s stay;
Nor fair untrodden dell;
He sweeps the upland swell,
And away!
Mourn’st thou thy homeless state,
O soft, repining wind!
By distant wood and lake,
Where distant fountains break
From the ground.
No bower where maidens dwell
Can win a moment’s stay;
Nor fair untrodden dell;
He sweeps the upland swell,
And away!
Mourn’st thou thy homeless state,
O soft, repining wind!
