'Mid ocean's boundless Voice, the note

Of girl who hymns the evening-star.

The sweetest word, the melting tone,

The pictured wisdom bright as day,

And Faust's remorse, and Tasso's groan,

And Dorothea's morning lay,

Glad Egmont, light of Clara's eyes,

Free Goetz, the warmth of manhood's noon,

And Mignon, all a tune of sighs,

And lorn Ottilia crush'd so soon.
