Then, wandering, I'll wish you in silence to love me.

III.

We'll look through the trees at the cliff and the eyrie;

We'll tread round the rath on the track of the fairy;

We'll look on the stars, and we'll list to the river,

Till you ask of your darling what gift you can give her.

Oh! she'll whisper you,—"Love, as unchangeably beaming,

And trust, when in secret, most tunefully streaming,

Till the starlight of heaven above us shall quiver,

As our souls flow in one down eternity's river."
