                                               III。 

     Haunt the debauchee with dreams�察�Of the victim of his schemes�察�Paint 

her   with   dishevelled   hair�察  �Streaming   eyes�察  �and   bosom   bare�察  �And   with 

aspect pale and sad�察�As a spectre's from the dead�察�Weeping o'er her new´ 

born�察�child�察�Her name reproached�察�her fame despoiled�此�Let her groanings 

reach his ear�察�Pierce his heart�察�and rouse his fear Of the retribution given�察�

To such deeds as his�察�by Heaven。 

                                               IV。 

     Around the drunkard's tattered couch�察�Let pale´faced want and misery 

crouch�察  �His   children   shivering   o'er   the   hearth�察  �Cheered   by   no   sound   of 

social mirth�察�Upbraiding�察�with their timid glances�察�The author of their sad 

mischances�察�And she to whom the holy vow Of the altar bound him�察�now 

With   sunken   eye�察  �and   beauty   faded�察  �Tresses   silvered�察  �brow   o'ershaded�察�

Clinging to him fondly still�察�With a love that mocks each ill�察�Which would 

vainly strive to tear Her soul from one who once was dear。                     Now haste 

we�察�each our task to do�察         �Ere the starry hours wane through� �

     ��They fly off�察�singing as they disappear。 

     Ere   the   Morning's   rosy  wing�察      �Has   brushed   the   damp   night´shades 

away�察    �Ere   the  birds   their  matins    sing�察 �Choiring     to  the  new´born      day�察�

Though its bright birth´hour be near�察�Many a sigh�察�and many a tear�察�Shall 

attest the mystic might�察�Of those who walk the world by night。 

     Werner ��solus��。 

     The ruin of the living�          �if that be Your only task�察�you have a poor 

employ。 Give   man   his three   score years�察 �and he   will make A wreck�察 �the 

skill   of   hell   might   show   forth   as   A  sample   of   its   handiwork�察  �and   then�察�

Exult     at  the  completeness      of   its  ruin。  The   troubling    of   the  dead��if 

memory lives In that far world�察�to which the spirit hastens�察�When she casts 

off the clay that clogs her wings�察�E'en there ye are forestalled�察�for man will 

need No curse�察�to make his second life a hell�察�If be retains the memory of 

his first。 Had the clear waters of this gurgling brook�察�The pow'r to wash 

time's blots from th' mind's page�察�And all earth's mountains were compact 

of gold�察�Her rivers nectar�察�and her oceans wine�察�Her hills all fruitful�察�and 

her valleys fresh�察�And full of loveliness as Eden was�察�Ere sin's sad blight

fell on its living bow'rs�察�And all were mine�察�I'd give them but to lay My 

weary   limbs   along   this   streamlet's   bed�察  �And   sleep   in   full   forgetfulness 

awhile。 But�察�I forget my tasknow let me to it� �

fear it。 By the power which I have earned�察              �To which thy knee has knelt�察�

By the spell which I have learned�察             �A spell which thou�察�hast felt�察             �I 

bid thee hither come � �

     ��A  white   cloud   appears   in   the   distance�察  �floating   up   the   glen�察  �and   a

                                                I。 

     I saw from  port a vessel steer�察�The   skies were clear�察  �the winds   were 

fair�察�More swiftly than the hunted deer�察�Upon her snowy wings of air�察�She 

flew along the silv'ry water�察�As fearlessly as if some sprite�察�Familiar with 

the deep�察�had taught her�察�A spell by which to rule the might Of winds and 

waves�察�when met to try Their strength�察�up midway in the sky。 

                                               II。 

     Along her   trackless   watery  way�察 �With   unabated   speed   she   flew�察  �Still 

gay and careless�察�till the day Waned past�此�night came�此�the heavens grew 

Black�察�dread and threat'ning。 Then the storm Came forth in its devouring 

wrath�察�Before it fled Fear's pallid form�察�Destruction followed in its path�察�It 

passed�此�the morning came�此�in vain�察�I look for that lost bark again。 

                                               III。 

     Far down beneath the deep blue waves�察�Within some merman's coral 

hall�察�Her fated crew have found their graves�察�Above them�察�for their burial 

pall�察  �The   mermaids   spread   their   flowing   tresses�察  �The   waters   chant   their 

requiem�察  �From   many   an   eyelid�察  �Pity   presses   Her   tender�察  �dewy   tears   for 

them�此�The natives of the ocean weep�察�To view them sleeping death's pale 

sleep。

                                                IV。 

     Thou�察  �mortal�察  �wast   the   bark   I saw�察�The   waters�察  �were   the   sea of   life�察�

And thou�察�alas� �too well dost know�察�What storms were imaged in the strife 

Of winds and waves。 The hopes of youth�察�Thou�察�in that bark's lost crew�察�

may'st see�察�All buried now within that smooth�察�Vast�察�boundless   deep�察�

eternity�此�And I�察�a spirit though I be�察�Can pity still�察�and weep for thee。 

     ��The     cloud    settles   near   the   fountain�察   �and�察   �unclosing�察    �discovers     a 

beautiful form looking steadily at Werner。 

     WERNER ��addressing it��。 

     How beautiful� �If intercourse between all living worlds�察�Had not been 

barr'd by Him who gave them life�察�I should believe thou wert the guardian 

spirit�察�Of that which men have named the Queen of Night。 Like her�察�thou 

art majestic�察�pale and sad�察�And of a tender beauty�此�those bright curls That 

press thy brow�察�and cling about thy neck�察�Seem made of sunbeams�察�caught 

upon their way To earth�察�by some creative hand�察�and woven Into a fairy 

web�察�of light and life�察�Conscious of its high source�察�and proud to be A part 

of aught so beautiful as thou。 I have seen many full�察�bright mortal eyes�察�

That were a labyrinth of witching charms�察�In which the heart of him who 

looked   was   lost�察  �But   none   like   thine�察  �their   light   is   not   of   earth�察  �Their 

loveliness   not   like   what   man   calls   lovely。   Beside   the   smoothness   of   thy 

brow and cheek�察�The lily's lip were rough�察�each of thy limbs�察�Is�察�in itself�察�a 

being   and   a   beauty。   If   that   the   orb   thou   didst   inhabit�察  �ere   Thou   wert   a 

portion     of  eternity�察  �Was     worthy    of   such   dwellers�察    �oh�   �how    fair  And 

glorious�察�must have been its fields and bow'rs� �How clear its streams� �how 

pure and fresh its airs� �How mellow were its fruits� �how bright its flow'rs� �

How   strong   and   brave   the   beings�察  �fit   to   share   It   with   thee�   �'Tis   most 

strange that He�察�whose hand Fashions such wondrous things�察�should take 

delight In striking them to nothingness again� �Perchance the author of all 

evil   had   Invaded   it�察  �and   made   it   quite   unfit To   be   a   part   of   God's   great 

universe。   And   yet   thou   lookest   as   if   thou     wert   beyond   The   power   of 

temptation to assail。 Hast thou too sinned�拭�

     Spirit。 

     I have lived as thou livest�察�died as thou Wilt have to die�察�and am what

thou shalt be。 

     Werner 

        I have not questioned thee of life or death�察�Nor of the state which 

shall succeed them both�察�I care not for the first�察�nor fear the second�察�The 

last I leave to Him who gave to man Eternity for his inheritance。                    But I 

would   know   if   the   unceasing   war�察  �Which   good   and   evil   wage   upon   the 

earth�察�Has reached beyond�察�its confines。 

     Spirit。 

        Have I not answered thee�拭�The Begetter of worlds�察�stars�察�suns�察�and 

systems� �The Father of Creation� �the Bridegroom Of the Spirit� �hath He 

not   written   that   Death   has   dominion   only   over   sin�拭  �And   thou   would'st 

know if other worlds have felt The curse that fell upon�察�and blighted thine。 

Poor simple child of clay� �no doubt thou know'st The story of the Eden of 

thy sire�察�And think'st that there�察�in its fresh�察�stainless breast�察�The baleful 

seeds    of   evil  first  were   sown�察   �Which     since   have   spread    so  fearfully 

abroad�察�When the sad doom�察�that came on him and his�察�Was but the spray�察�

cast from the wave of fate�察�Which just then reached thy newly finished orb。 

Where it first startedwhither tends its course Where it shall stophow 

many wrecks of worlds Once fairer far than thine was at its birth Shall 

strew its desolate way��is not for things Brought forth from dust to know。 

What wouldst thou of me�拭�

     Werner。 

        The sole remaining good�察�if good it be�察�That yet is mine to share。 I 

have tried all That earthly hope holds out to satisfy The longings of man's 

nature。    I  have   loved�察   �And    made    an   idol  of   the  thing   I  loved�察  �And 

worshipped it with all my soul's intensity�察�And�察�for awhile�察�the frenzy of 

my dream Shut out all other thoughts。 But it was short�察�Death plucked my 

lovely flower from my grasp�察�And then�察�the icy chill of desolation Came�察�

like   a   snowy   avalanche�察  �upon   My   heart�察  �and   froze   the   fountains   of   its 

feeling。      I   was   ambitious。   I   have   striven   for�察  �And   worn�察  �the   gaudiest 

wreath of fame�察�and when I would have placed it on my brow�察�it grew A 

mountain in its weight。 I courted much The notice of the world�察�and when 

men praised�察�The very breath that bore their praise to me�察�Seemed clogged
