- | |
BY the rush of the Rhine's broad stream | B |
Down whose rapid tide | C |
We sailed as in some sweet dream | B |
Sitting side by side | C |
By the depth of its clear blue wave | D |
And the vine clad hills | E |
Which gazed on its heart and gave | D |
Their tribute rills | E |
- | |
By the mountains in purple shade | F |
And those valleys green | G |
Where our bower of rest was made | F |
By the world unseen | G |
By the notes of the wild free bird | H |
Singing over head | I |
When nought else in the sunshine stirr'd | H |
Round our flowery bed | I |
- | |
By these and by Love's power divine | J |
I have no thought but what is thine | J |
II | A |
- | |
By the glance of thy radiant eyes | E |
Where a glory shone | K |
That was half of the summer skies | E |
And half their own | K |
By the light and yet fervent hold | L |
Of thy gentle hand | M |
As the woodbines the flowers enfold | L |
With their tender band | M |
- | |
By thy voice when it breathes in song | N |
And the echo given | O |
By lips that to Earth belong | N |
Float up to Heaven | O |
By the gleams on thy silken hair | P |
At the sunset hour | Q |
And the breadth of they forehead fair | P |
With its thoughtful power | Q |
- | |
By these and by Love's soul divine | J |
I have no hope but what is thine | J |
III | A |
- | |
By the beauty and stilness round | R |
When the lake's lone shore | S |
Scarce echoed the pleasant sound | R |
Of the distant oar | S |
By the moonlight which softly fell | T |
On all objects near | U |
And thy whisper seemed like a spell | T |
In thy Lover's ear | V |
- | |
By the dreams of the restless past | W |
And the hope that came | X |
Like sunshine in shadow cast | W |
With thy gentle name | X |
By the beat of thy good true heart | Y |
Where pure thoughts have birth | Z |
By thy tears when Fate bade us part | Y |
And thy smiles of mirth | Z |
- | |
By these and by Love's power divine | J |
I have no hope but what is thine | J |
IV | D |
- | |
By the gloom of those holy fanes | E |
Where the light stream'd through | A2 |
Dim orange and purple panes | E |
On the aisles below | B2 |
By the ruin'd and roofless wall | C2 |
Of that castle high | D |
With its turrets so grey and tall | C2 |
In the clear blue sky | D |
- | |
By beauty because its light | D2 |
Should thy portion be | E2 |
And whatever is fair and bright | D2 |
Seems a part of thee | E2 |
And by darkness and blank decay | F2 |
Because they tell | T |
What the world would be THOU away | F2 |
Whom I love so well | T |
- | |
By these and by Love's power divine | J |
My heart my soul my life are thine | J |
