The earth, the air, the sea,
O’erspanned by wings of Boundless Love,
How vainly smile for thee!
The blush of morn, the sunset glow,
The dew-gemmed paradise
Where Summer’s roses blow,
Are not for thy dim eyes.
Hushed is the sound of Music’s voice,
Hushed is the murmuring sea;
No trembling harp bids thee rejoice,—
