As in the lonely night	A
Above the silvered fields and streams	B
Where zephyr gently blows	C
And myriad objects vague	D
Illusions that deceive	E
Their distant shadows weave	E
Amid the silent rills	C
The trees the hedges villages and hills	C
Arrived at heaven's boundary	F
Behind the Apennine or Alp	G
Or into the deep bosom of the sea	F
The moon descends the world grows dim	H
The shadows disappear darkness profound	I
Falls on each hill and vale around	I
And night is desolate	J
And singing with his plaintive lay	K
The parting gleam of friendly light	A
The traveller greets whose radiance bright	A
Till now hath guided him upon his way	K
	-
So vanishes so desolate	J
Youth leaves our mortal state	L
The shadows disappear	M
And the illusions dear	M
And in the distance fading all are seen	N
The hopes on which our suffering natures lean	N
Abandoned and forlorn	O
Our lives remain	P
And the bewildered traveller in vain	P
As he its course surveys	C
To find the end or object tries	C
Of the long path that still before him lies	C
A hopeless darkness o'er him steals	C
Himself an alien on the earth he feels	C
	-
Too happy and too gay	K
Would our hard lot appear	M
To those who placed us here if youth	Q
Whose every joy is born of pain	P
Through all our days were suffered to remain	P
Too merciful the law	R
That sentences each animal to death	S
Did not the road that leads to it	T
E'er half completed unto us appear	M
Than death itself more sad and drear	M
Thou blest invention of the Gods	C
And worthy of their intellects divine	U
Old age the last of all our ills	C
When our desires still linger on	V
Though every ray of hope is gone	W
When pleasure's fountains all are dried	X
Our pains increasing every joy denied	X
	-
Ye hills and vales and fields	C
Though in the west hath set the radiant orb	Y
That shed its lustre on the veil of night	A
Will not long time remain bereft	Z
In hopeless darkness left	Z
Ye soon will see the eastern sky	A2
Grow white again the dawn arise	C
Precursor of the sun	B2
Who with the splendor of his rays	C
Will all the scene irradiate	L
And with his floods of light	A
The fields of heaven and earth will inundate	L
But mortal life	C2
When lovely youth has gone	W
Is colored with no other light	A
And knows no other dawn	W
The rest is hopeless wretchedness and gloom	D2
The journey's end the dark and silent tomb	D2
