| And there I calmly lie | B |
| With thought confined in pensive mind | C |
| And contemplate the sky | B |
| I wonder if the frowning cliff | D |
| The valley and the wood | E |
| Or rugged freaks of mountain peaks | F |
| Enjoy their solitude | G |
| - | |
| The heavens hold a sphere of gold | H |
| A full and placid moon | I |
| Suspended high in cloudless sky | B |
| With constellations strewn | I |
| Its mellow beam on rill and stream | J |
| In silvery sheen I see | K |
| Before its light the shades of night | L |
| As evil spirits flee | K |
| - | |
| In space afar a shooting star | M |
| With swift uncertain course | N |
| In dazzling sparks its passage marks | O |
| As it expends its force | N |
| The mountains bare reflect its glare | P |
| Of weird unearthly light | L |
| And e'en the skies in glad surprise | Q |
| Behold its gorgeous flight | L |
| - | |
| The spruce and pine at timber line | R |
| In straggling patches strewn | I |
| Surcharge the breeze with melodies | S |
| The forests' plaintive tune | I |
| As they descend the waters blend | T |
| In babbling harmony | K |
| And soothe to rest my tranquil breast | U |
| With Nature's lullaby | B |
