I AM far, far away, and the billows of Ocean Divide me, beloved, from thee; I am far, far away--but the Spirit's devotion Leaps o'er the broad waters to thee! No bonds can controul The passionate soul, But away to its far home it flies! The lark they may prison, But her spirit hath risen And soared to its own native skies! And where is the haven for which my soul pineth? Alone on thy fond, fond breast; There often in fancy my Spirit reclineth, And the restless is at rest I To live for a while In the hope of thy smile, More full than the promise of May: To forget this harsh life, All the turmoil and strife, And dream a short hour away!

Then think not, beloved, because we are parted I shall not be with thee this night: We are two, single-souled: we are two, single-hearted: Already my spirit takes flight! I soar up on high, I cleave the blue sky, On the wings of wild fancy I flee: And the winds lag behind The swift swoop of my mind Which flashes through darkness to thee! FROM THE GERMAN OF HEINE. A S I each morning past thy dwelling, Like some unearthly traveller, flit, It glads my heart, O lovely maiden! To see thee at the casement sit. Thou seemest with thy dark-brown eyes Me curiously to watch and scan; " Who art thou? and what aileth thee? Thou strange, forlorn, unhappy man!" I am a German Poet, I! Through German-land ail-widely famed; When men speak of their greatest men, The...
