HE	A
	-
CANST thou give oh fair and matchless maiden	B
	-
'Neath the shadow of the lindens yonder	C
	-
Where I'd fain one moment cease to wander	C
Food and drink to one so heavy laden	B
	-
SHE	A
	-
Wouldst thou find refreshment traveller weary	A
	-
Bread ripe fruit and cream to meet thy wishes	D
	-
None but Nature's plain and homely dishes	E
Near the spring may soothe thy wanderings dreary	A
	-
HE	A
	-
Dreams of old acquaintance now pass through me	A
	-
Ne'er forgotten queen of hours of blisses	E
	-
Likenesses I've often found but this is	E
One that quite a marvel seemeth to me	A
	-
SHE	A
	-
Travellers often wonder beyond measure	C
	-
But their wonder soon see cause to smother	C
	-
Fair and dark are often like each other	C
Both inspire the mind with equal pleasure	C
	-
HE	A
	-
Not now for the first time I surrender	C
	-
To this form in humble adoration	B
	-
It was brightest midst the constellation	B
In the hail adorn'd with festal splendour	C
	-
SHE	A
	-
Be thou joyful that 'tis in my power	C
	-
To complete thy strange and merry story	A
	-
Silks behind her full of purple glory	A
Floated when thou saw'st her in that hour	C
	-
HE	A
	-
No in truth thou hast not sung it rightly	A
	-
Spirits may have told thee all about it	F
	-
Pearls and gems they spoke of do not doubt it	F
By her gaze eclipsed it gleam'd so brightly	A
	-
SHE	A
	-
This one thing I certainly collected	G
	-
That the fair one say nought I entreat thee	A
	-
Fondly hoping once again to meet thee	A
Many a castle in the air erected	G
	-
HE	A
	-
By each wind I ceaselessly was driven	B
	-
Seeking gold and honour too to capture	C
	-
When my wand'rings end then oh what rapture	C
If to find that form again 'tis given	B
	-
SHE	A
	-
'Tis the daughter of the race now banish'd	H
	-
That thou seest not her likeness only	A
	-
Helen and her brother glad though lonely	A
Till this farm of their estate now vanish'd	H
	-
HE	A
	-
But the owner surely is not wanting	I
	-
Of these plains with ev'ry beauty teeming	I
	-
Verdant fields broad meads and pastures gleaming	I
Gushing springs all heav'nly and enchanting	I
	-
SHE	A
	-
Thou must hunt the world through wouldst thou find him	J
	-
We have wealth enough in our possession	B
	-
And intend to purchase the succession	B
When the good man leaves the world behind him	J
	-
HE	A
	-
I have learnt the owner's own condition	B
	-
And fair maiden thou indeed canst buy it	F
	-
But the cost is great I won't deny it	F
Helen is the price with thy permission	B
	-
SHE	A
	-
Did then fate and rank keep us asunder	C
	-
And must Love take this road and no other	C
	-
Yonder comes my dear and trusty brother	C
What will he say to it all I wonder	C
