Lead me to the crystal mirrors

Watering soft Elysian plains.

Mourning cypress, verdant willow,

Gilding my Aurelia's brows,

Morpheus hovering o'er my pillow,

Hear me pay my dying vows.

Melancholy smooth Meander,

Swiftly purling in a round,

On thy margin lovers wander,

With thy flowery chaplets crowned.
