THERE where the swift Rhone's waters flow	A
Its verdant banks between	B
Where fragrant myrtles bending grow	A
And Rhone reflects their green	B
There where the vineyards deck the hills	C
And o'er the valleys spread	D
Which golden citrons' fragrance fills	C
And plantains rear their head	D
	-
There stood as sunk the lord of day	E
Upon the smiling shore	F
One who long watch'd the waters play	E
And thought his sorrows o'er	G
A Russian hero stolen by war	F
The honour of the Don	H
Divided from his friends afar	I
He wander'd there alone	J
	-
'O roll ' he sang 'ye waters roll	K
Flow in your glory on	H
Your waves shall waken on my soul	K
The memory of the Don	H
My days pass by without an aim	L
Amidst life's busy roar	F
For what is life without its fame	L
Or the bright world 'tis poor	M
	-
'Now nature wears its spring tide dress	N
The sun shines splendidly	O
All liberty and loveliness	N
O why am I not free	O
O roll ye waters rage thou Rhone	J
And waken as ye roll	K
The thoughts of my domestic zone	J
Within my troubled soul	K
	-
'The maidens here are fair and bright	P
Their glance is full of fire	G
And their all graceful smiles of light	P
Might satisfy desire	G
'But what is love in foreign lands	N
Or joy I only know	A
The joy and love that bless our sands	N
Midst forests and midst snow	A
	-
'Give me my freedom let me tread	D
Once more my country's strand	Q
With frost and storm all overspread	Q
My home my father land	Q
Deep is the snow around my door	F
But give me my own steed	Q
And day and night the mountains o'er	G
Me to my home he'll lead	Q
	-
'At home there's one who sits and keeps	N
The memory of her love	R
And often to the window creeps	N
And pours her prayers above	R
She guards the thoughts of him whose mind	Q
Guards every thought of her	G
She pats the horse I left behind	Q
How privileged to be there	S
	-
'O roll thou Rhone ye waters roll	K
Rush in your glory on	H
Your waves still waken in my soul	K
The memory of the Don	H
Come winds come hither from the north	T
Come in your freshness come	U
And thou bright pole star blazen forth	T
Memento of my home '	-
	-
So spake the prisoner as he turn'd	Q
To Lyons his tired eye	V
When long in exile's chains he mourn'd	Q
His hapless destiny	O
He sang the Rhone roll'd proudly on	H
The moon oft kiss'd its tide	Q
And oft on Lyons' turrets shone	J
The sun in all his pride	Q
