As if, where'er you gazed, there stood a star!

How far was Würzburg with its church and spire

And garden-walls and all things they contain,

From that look's far alighting?

Par. I but spoke

And looked alike from simple joy to see

The beings I love best, shut in so well

From all rude chances like to be my lot,

That, when afar, my weary spirit,—disposed

To lose awhile its care in soothing thoughts
