IA
-
BY the rush of the Rhine's broad streamB
Down whose rapid tideC
We sailed as in some sweet dreamB
Sitting side by sideC
By the depth of its clear blue waveD
And the vine clad hillsE
Which gazed on its heart and gaveD
Their tribute rillsE
-
By the mountains in purple shadeF
And those valleys greenG
Where our bower of rest was madeF
By the world unseenG
By the notes of the wild free birdH
Singing over headI
When nought else in the sunshine stirr'dH
Round our flowery bedI
-
By these and by Love's power divineJ
I have no thought but what is thineJ
IIA
-
By the glance of thy radiant eyesE
Where a glory shoneK
That was half of the summer skiesE
And half their ownK
By the light and yet fervent holdL
Of thy gentle handM
As the woodbines the flowers enfoldL
With their tender bandM
-
By thy voice when it breathes in songN
And the echo givenO
By lips that to Earth belongN
Float up to HeavenO
By the gleams on thy silken hairP
At the sunset hourQ
And the breadth of they forehead fairP
With its thoughtful powerQ
-
By these and by Love's soul divineJ
I have no hope but what is thineJ
IIIA
-
By the beauty and stilness roundR
When the lake's lone shoreS
Scarce echoed the pleasant soundR
Of the distant oarS
By the moonlight which softly fellT
On all objects nearU
And thy whisper seemed like a spellT
In thy Lover's earV
-
By the dreams of the restless pastW
And the hope that cameX
Like sunshine in shadow castW
With thy gentle nameX
By the beat of thy good true heartY
Where pure thoughts have birthZ
By thy tears when Fate bade us partY
And thy smiles of mirthZ
-
By these and by Love's power divineJ
I have no hope but what is thineJ
IVD
-
By the gloom of those holy fanesE
Where the light stream'd throughA2
Dim orange and purple panesE
On the aisles belowB2
By the ruin'd and roofless wallC2
Of that castle highD
With its turrets so grey and tallC2
In the clear blue skyD
-
By beauty because its lightD2
Should thy portion beE2
And whatever is fair and brightD2
Seems a part of theeE2
And by darkness and blank decayF2
Because they tellT
What the world would be THOU awayF2
Whom I love so wellT
-
By these and by Love's power divineJ
My heart my soul my life are thineJ
