Though not a breath can enter hereA
I know the wind blows fresh and freeB
I know the sun is shining clearC
Though not a gleam can visit meB
They thought while I in darkness layD
'Twere pity that I should not knowE
How all the earth is smiling gayD
How fresh the vernal breezes blowE
-
They knew such tidings to impartF
Would pierce my weary spirit throughG
And could they better read my heartF
They'd tell me she was smiling tooG
-
They need not for I know it wellH
Methinks I see her even nowI
No sigh disturbs her bosom's swellH
No shade o'ercasts her angel browI
-
Unmarred by grief her angel voiceJ
Whence sparkling wit and wisdom flowE
And others in its sound rejoiceJ
And taste the joys I must not knowE
-
Drink rapture from her soft dark eyeK
And sunshine from her heavenly smileL
On wings of bliss their moments flyK
And I am pining here the whileL
-
Oh tell me does she never giveM
To my distress a single sighK
She smiles on them but does she grieveN
One moment when they are not byK
-
When she beholds the sunny skiesO
And feels the wind of heaven blowE
Has she no tear for him that liesO
In dungeon gloom so far belowE
-
While others gladly round her pressP
And at her side their hours beguileL
Has she no sigh for his distressP
Who cannot see a single smileL
-
Nor hear one word nor read a lineQ
That her beloved hand might writeR
Who banished from her face must pineQ
Each day a long and lonely nightR
