Who rush by who shake | B |
The window and ruffle | C |
The gleam lighted lake | B |
Who cross to the hill side | D |
Thin sprinkled with farms | E |
Where the high woods strip sadly | F |
Their yellowing arms | E |
Ye are bound for the mountains | G |
Ah with you let me go | H |
Where your cold distant barrier | I |
The vast range of snow | H |
Through the loose clouds lifts dimly | F |
Its white peaks in air | J |
How deep is their stillness | K |
Ah would I were there | J |
- | |
But on the stairs what voice is this I hear | L |
Buoyant as morning and as morning clear | M |
Say has some wet bird haunted English lawn | N |
Lent it the music of its trees at dawn | N |
Or was it from some sun fleck'd mountain brook | O |
That the sweet voice its upland clearness took | O |
Ah it comes nearer | I |
Sweet notes this way | P |
- | |
Hark fast by the window | H |
The rushing winds go | H |
To the ice cumber'd gorges | Q |
The vast seas of snow | H |
There the torrents drive upward | R |
Their rock strangled hum | A |
There the avalanche thunders | S |
The hoarse torrent dumb | A |
I come O ye mountains | G |
Ye torrents I come | A |
- | |
But who is this by the half open'd door | T |
Whose figure casts a shadow on the floor | T |
The sweet blue eyes the soft ash colour'd hair | J |
The cheeks that still their gentle paleness wear | J |
The lovely lips with their arch smile that tells | U |
The unconquer'd joy in which her spirit dwells | U |
Ah they bend nearer | I |
Sweet lips this way | P |
- | |
Hark the wind rushes past us | K |
Ah with that let me go | H |
To the clear waning hill side | D |
Unspotted by snow | H |
There to watch o'er the sunk vale | V |
The frore mountain wall | W |
Where the nich'd snow bed sprays down | X |
Its powdery fall | W |
There its dusky blue clusters | S |
The aconite spreads | Y |
There the pines slope the cloud strips | Z |
Hung soft in their heads | Y |
No life but at moments | A2 |
The mountain bee's hum | A |
I come O ye mountains | G |
Ye pine woods I come | A |
- | |
Forgive me forgive me | F |
Ah Marguerite fain | B2 |
Would these arms reach to clasp thee | F |
But see 'tis in vain | B2 |
- | |
In the void air towards thee | F |
My strain'd arms are cast | C2 |
But a sea rolls between us | K |
Our different past | C2 |
- | |
To the lips ah of others | S |
Those lips have been prest | D2 |
And others ere I was | E2 |
Were clasp'd to that breast | D2 |
- | |
Far far from each other | I |
Our spirits have grown | F2 |
And what heart knows another | I |
Ah who knows his own | F2 |
- | |
Blow ye winds lift me with you | G2 |
I come to the wild | H2 |
Fold closely O Nature | I |
Thine arms round thy child | H2 |
- | |
To thee only God granted | I2 |
A heart ever new | G2 |
To all always open | J2 |
To all always true | G2 |
- | |
Ah calm me restore me | F |
And dry up my tears | K2 |
On thy high mountain platforms | L2 |
Where Morn first appears | M2 |
- | |
Where the white mists for ever | I |
Are spread and upfurl'd | I2 |
In the stir of the forces | N2 |
Whence issued the world | I2 |
