Though souls befriended should remaïn

As thankless as the sea vor raïn,

On them the good's a-lost 'tis true,

But never can be lost to you.

Look on the cool-feäced moon at night

Wi' light-vull ring, at utmost height,

A-castèn down, in gleamèn strokes,

His beams upon the dim-bough'd woaks,

To show the cliff a-risèn steep,

To show the stream a-vallèn deep,
