  Locks of brown, still bind your captive

  In the circle of her face!

  I, beloved sinuous tresses,

  Naught possess that's worth your grace—

  But a heart whose love enduring

  Swells in youthful fervor yet:

  Snow and mists envelop Etna,

  Making men the fire forget.

  Yonder mountain's pride so stately

  Thou dost shame like dawn's red glow;

  And its spell once more bids Hatem

  Thrill of spring and summer know.

  Once more fill the glass, the flagon!

  Let me drink to my desire.

  If she find a heap of ashes,

  Say, "He perished in her fire!"
