Fair river! in thy bright, clear flow

  Of crystal, wandering water,

Thou art an emblem of the glow

    Of beauty – the unhidden heart,

    The playful maziness of art

  In old Alberto's daughter;

But when within thy wave she looks,

  Which glistens then, and trembles,

Why, then, the prettiest of brooks

  Her worshipper resembles;

For in his heart, as in thy stream,

  Her image deeply lies —

His heart which trembles at the beam

  Of her soul-searching eyes.
