   Angel-fair, Walhalla's charms displaying,

    Fairer than all mortal youths was he;

   Mild his look, as May-day sunbeams straying

    Gently o'er the blue and glassy sea.

   And his kisses! — what ecstatic feeling!

   Like two flames that lovingly entwine,

   Like the harp's soft tones together stealing

    Into one sweet harmony divine, —

   Soul and soul embraced, commingled, blended,

    Lips and cheeks with trembling passion burned,

   Heaven and earth, in pristine chaos ended,

    Round the blissful lovers madly turn'd.

   He is gone — and, ah! with bitter anguish

    Vainly now I breathe my mournful sighs;

   He is gone — in hopeless grief I languish

    Earthly joys I ne'er again can prize!
