No other heavenly warbling bird
Will sing so joyous, oft, and long.
L'ISOLEMENT.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE,
BY WM. A. KENYON.
OFTEN, at sunset, on the mountain side,
Beneath an aged oak I take my seat,
My vision roaming o'er the plain spread wide,
Whose panorama opens at my feet.
