Suddenly, though time, darkness, silence, hide thee,

This wind from thy lost country flits beside thee,—

Telling thee: all thy memories moved the maiden,

With thy regrets was morning over-shaden,

With sorrow, thou hast left, her life was laden.

But whither shall my thoughts turn to pursue thee?

Life changes, and the years and days renew thee.

Oh, Nature brings my straying heart unto thee;

Her winds will join us, with their constant kisses

Upon the evening as the morning tresses,
