The morning rain when from her coop released	A
The hen exulting flaps her wings when from	B
The balcony the husbandman looks forth	C
And when the rising sun his trembling rays	D
Darts through the falling drops against my roof	E
And windows gently beating wakens me	F
I rise and grateful bless the flying clouds	G
The cheerful twitter of the early birds	H
The smiling fields and the refreshing air	I
For I of you unhappy city walls	J
Enough have seen and known where hatred still	K
Companion is to grief and grieving still	K
I live and so shall die and that how soon	L
But here some pity Nature shows though small	M
Once in this spot to me so courteous	N
Thou too O Nature turn'st away thy gaze	D
From misery thou too thy sympathy	F
Withholding from the suffering and the sad	O
Dost homage pay to royal happiness	N
No friend in heaven on earth the wretched hath	P
No refuge save his trusty dagger's edge	Q
Sometimes I sit in perfect solitude	R
Upon a hill that overlooks a lake	S
That is encircled quite with silent trees	T
There when the sun his mid day course hath reached	U
His tranquil face he in a mirror sees	T
Nor grass nor leaf is shaken by the wind	V
There is no ripple on the wave no chirp	W
Of cricket rustling wing of bird in bush	X
Nor hum of butterfly no motion voice	Y
Or far or near is either seen or heard	Z
Its shores are locked in quiet most profound	A2
So that myself the world I quite forget	B2
As motionless I sit my limbs appear	C2
To lie dissolved of breath and sense deprived	D2
As if in immemorial rest they seemed	E2
Confounded with the silent scene around	A2
	-
O love O love long since thou from this breast	F2
Hast flown that was so warm so ardent once	G2
Misfortune in her cold and cruel grasp	H2
Has held it fast and it to ice has turned	I2
E'en in the flower of my youth The time	J2
I well recall when thou this heart didst fill	K
That sweet irrevocable time it was	K2
When this unhappy scene of life unto	L2
The ardent gaze of youth reveals itself	M2
Expands and wears the smile of Paradise	N2
How throbs the heart within the boyish breast	F2
By virgin hope and fond desire impelled	O2
The wretched dupe for life's hard work prepares	P2
As if it were a dance or merry game	Q2
But when I first O love thy presence felt	R2
Misfortune had already crushed my life	S2
And these poor eyes with constant tears were filled	T2
Yet if at times upon the sun lit slopes	U2
At silent dawn or when in broad noonday	T2
The roofs and hills and fields are shining bright	T2
I of some lonely maiden meet the gaze	D
Or when in silence of the summer night	T2
My wandering steps arresting I before	V2
The houses of the village pause to gaze	D
Upon the lonely scene and hear the voice	Y
So clear and cheerful of the maiden who	L2
Her ditty chanting in her quiet room	W2
Her daily task protracts into the night	T2
Ah then this stony heart will throb once more	V2
But soon alas its lethargy returns	X2
For all things sweet are strangers to this breast	T2
	-
Belov d moon beneath whose tranquil rays	D
The hares dance in the groves and at the dawn	Y2
The huntsman vexed at heart beholds the tracks	Z2
Confused and intricate that from their forms	A3
His steps mislead hail thou benignant Queen	B3
Of Night How unpropitious fall thy rays	D
Among the cliffs and thickets or within	C3
Deserted buildings on the gleaming steel	D3
Of robber pale who with attentive ear	E3
Unto the distant noise of horses and	T2
Of wheels is listening or the tramp of feet	T2
Upon the silent road then suddenly	F
With sound of arms and hoarse harsh voice and look	F3
Of death the traveller's heart doth chill	K
Whom he half dead and naked shortly leaves	G3
Among the rocks How unpropitious too	L2
Is thy bright light along the city streets	H3
Unto the worthless paramour who picks	I3
His way close to the walls in anxious search	J3
Of friendly shade and halts and dreads the sight	T2
Of blazing lamps and open balconies	T
To evil spirits unpropitious still	K
To me thy face will ever seem benign	K3
Along these heights where nought save smiling hills	L3
And spacious fields thou offer'st to my view	L2
And yet it was my wayward custom once	G2
Though I was innocent thy gracious ray	M3
To chide amid the haunts of men whene'er	M3
It would my face to them betray and when	N3
It would their faces unto me reveal	D3
Now will I grateful sing its constant praise	D
When I behold thee sailing through the clouds	G
Or when mild sovereign of the realms of air	M3
Thou lookest down on this our vale of tears	P2
Me wilt thou oft behold mute wanderer	M3
Among the groves along the verdant banks	O3
Or seated on the grass content enough	P3
If heart and breath are left me for a sigh	Q3
