ONCE again my heart is vanquish'd, And my rancour is subsiding; Once again hath May breath'd on me Feelings tender and confiding. Once more late and early haste I Through the walks the most frequented, Under every bonnet seek I For my fair one's face lamented. Once more at the verdant river On the bridge I take my station; Peradventure she will come there, And will see my desolation. In the waterfall's loud music Hear I once again soft sighing, And my gentle heart well knoweth What the white waves are replying, Once again in mazy pathways I am lost in dreamy vision, And the birds in every thicket Hold the fond fool in derision. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SONG OF A HEATHEN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER THE LOST WAR-SLOOP by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR ARIEL'S SONG (1) [OR, DIRGE] [OR, A SEA DIRGE].
