Shall Earth no more inspire thee

Shall Earth no more inspire thee,

Thou lonely dreamer now?

Since passion may not fire thee,

Shall nature cease to bow?

Thy mind is ever moving

In regions dark to thee;

Recall its useless roving,

Come back and dwell with me.

I know my mountain breezes

Enchant and soothe thee still

I know my sunshine pleases

Despite thy wayward will.

When day with evening blending

Sinks from the summer sky,

I've seen thy spirit bending in fond idolatry

I've watched thee ev'ry hour

I know my mighty sway

I know my magic pow'r

To drive thy griefs away.

Few hearts to mortals giv'n

On earth so wildly fine

Yet none would ask a Heav'n

More like the Earth than thine

Then let my winds carress thee

Thy comrade let me be

Since naught beside can bless thee,

Return and dwell with me

with me.
