among The acacia trees。 And did no warning spirit answer�察 �Amid the
silence all around�察 �Before the lowly village altar She thou lovest may be
found�察�Thou�察�who trustest still so blindly�察�Know she stands a smiling bride� �
Forgetting thee�察�she turneth kindly To the stranger at her side。 Yes�察�this day
thou art forgotten�察�Forgotten�察�too�察�thy last farewell�察�All the vows that she
has spoken�察�And thy heart has kept so well。 Dream no more of a starry
future�察�In thy home beyond the seas� ─�But he only heard the gentle sigh Of
the summer breeze�察�So softly passing by The acacia trees。
And vainly�察�too�察�the other�察�looking Smiling up through hopeful tears�察�
Asked in his heart of hearts�察 �Where is she�察�She I love these many years�拭─�
He heard no echo calling faintly�此 �Lo�察 �she lieth cold and pale�察�And her
smile so calm and saintly Heeds not grieving sob or wail ´ Heeds not the
lilies strewn upon her�察�Pure as she is�察�and as white�察�Or the solemn chanting
voices�察�Or the taper's ghastly light。; But silent still was the ancient forest�察�
Silent were the gloomy trees�察 �He only heard the wailing sound Of the
summer breeze�察�That sadly played around The acacia trees

VERSE�此 �HUSH
;I can scarcely hear�察─�she murmured�察 �For my heart beats loud and fast�察�
But surely�察�in the far�察�far distance�察�I can hear a sound at last。; ;It is only
the reapers singing�察�As they carry home their sheaves�察�And the evening
breeze has risen�察�And rustles the dying leaves。;
;Listen� �there are voices talking。; Calmly still she strove to speak�察�Yet
her voice grew faint and trembling�察�And the red flushed in her cheek。 ;It is
only the children playing Below�察�now their work is done�察�And they laugh
that their eyes are dazzled By the rays of the setting sun。;
Fainter grew her voice�察 �and weaker As with anxious eyes she cried�察�
;Down the avenue of chestnuts�察�I can hear a horseman ride。; ;It was only
the deer that were feeding In a herd on the clover grass�察�They were startled�察�
and fled to the thicket�察�As they saw the reapers pass。;
Now the night arose in silence�察�Birds lay in their leafy nest�察�And the
deer couched in the forest�察�And the children were at rest�此�There was only a
sound of weeping From watchers around a bed�察 �But Rest to the weary
spirit�察�Peace to the quiet Dead� �

VERSE�此 �HOURS
When the bright stars came out last night�察 �And the dew lay on the
flowers�察�I had a vision of delight ´ A dream of by´gone hours。
Those hours that came and fled so fast�察 �Of pleasure or of pain�察 �As
phantoms rose from out the past Before my eyes again。
With beating heart did I behold A train of joyous hours�察�Lit with the
radiant light of old�察�And�察�smiling�察�crowned with flowers。 And some were
hours of childish sorrow�察 �A mimicry of pain�察 �That through their tears
looked for a morrow They knew must smile again。
Those hours of hope that longed for life�察�And wished their part begun�察�
And ere the summons to the strife�察�Dreamed that the field was won。
I knew the echo of their voice�察 �The starry crowns they wore�察 �The
vision made my soul rejoice With the old thrill of yore。
I knew the perfume of their flowers�察�The glorious shining rays Around
these happy smiling hours Were lit in by´gone days。
Oh stay�察�I criedbright visions�察�stay�察�And leave me not forlorn� �But�察�
smiling still�察�they passed away�察�Like shadows of the morn。
One spirit still remained�察�and cried�察 �Thy soul shall ne'er forget� ─�He
standeth ever by my side ´ The phantom called Regret� �
But still the spirits rose�察 �and there Were weary hours of pain�察 �And
anxious hours of fear and care Bound by an iron chain。
Dim shadows came of lonely hours�察�That shunned the light of day�察�And
in the opening smile of flowers Saw only quick decay。
Calm hours that sought the starry skies For heavenly lore were there�察�
With folded hands and earnest eyes�察�I knew the hours of prayer。
Stern hours that darkened the sun's light�察 �Heralds of coming woes�察�
With trailing wings�察�before my sight From the dim past arose。
As each dark vision passed and spoke I prayed it to depart�此�At each
some buried sorrow woke And stirred within my heart。
Until these hours of pain and care Lifted their tearful eyes�察 �Spread
their dark pinions in the air And passed into the skies。

VERSE�此 �THE TWO
INTERPRETERS
;The clouds are fleeting by�察�father�察�Look in the shining west�察�The great
white clouds sail onward Upon the sky's blue breast。 Look at a snowy
eagle�察 �His wings are tinged with red�察�And a giant dolphin follows him�察�
With a crown upon his head� ─�
The father spake no word�察�but watched The drifting clouds roll by�察�He
traced a misty vision too Upon the shining sky�此�A shadowy form�察 �with
well´known grace Of weary love and care�察�Above the smiling child she
held�察�Shook down her floating hair。
;The clouds are changing now�察 �father�察 �Mountains rise higher and
higher� �And see where red and purple ships Sail in a sea of fire� ─ �The
father pressed the little hand More closely in his own�察 �And watched a
cloud´dream in the sky That he could see alone�此�Bright angels carrying far
away A white form�察�cold and dead�察�Two held the feet�察�and two bore up The
flower´crowned�察�drooping head。
;See�察�father�察�see� �a glory floods The sky�察�and all is bright�察�And clouds
of every hue and shade Burn in the golden light。 And now�察�above an azure
lake�察 �Rise battlements and towers�察 �Where knights and ladies climb the
heights�察�All bearing purple flowers。;
The father looked�察�and�察�with a pang Of love and strange alarm�察�Drew
close the little eager child Within his sheltering arm�察�From out the clouds
the mother looks With wistful glance below�察 �She seems to seek the
treasure left On earth so long ago�察�She holds her arms out to her child�察�His
cradle´song she sings�此 �The last rays of the sunset gleam Upon her
outspread wings。
Calm twilight veils the summer sky�察�The shining clouds are gone�察�In
vain the merry laughing child Still gaily prattles on�察�In vain the bright stars�察�
one by one�察�On the blue silence start�察�A dreary shadow rests to´night Upon
the father's heart

VERSE�此 �COMFORT
Hast thou o'er the clear heaven of thy soul Seen tempests roll�拭 �Hast
thou watched all the hopes thou wouldst have won Fade�察�one by one�拭�Wait
till the clouds are past�察�then raise thine eyes To bitter skies。
Hast thou gone sadly through a dreary night�察�And found no light�察�No
guide�察�no star�察�to cheer thee through the plain ´ No friend�察�save pain�拭�Wait�察�
and thy soul shall see�察�when most forlorn�察�Rise a new morn。
Hast thou beneath another's stern control Bent thy sad soul�察 �And
wasted sacred hopes and precious tears�拭�Yet calm thy fears�察�For thou canst
gain�察�even from the bitterest part�察�A stronger heart。
Has Fate overwhelmed thee with some sudden blow�拭 �Let thy tears
flow�察 �But know when storms are past�察 �the heavens appear More pure�察�
more clear�察�And hope�察�when farthest from their shining rays�察�For brighter
days。
Hast thou found life a cheat�察�and worn in vain Its iron chain�拭�Has thy
soul bent beneath earth's heavy bond�拭�Look thou beyond�察�If life is bitter
THERE for ever shine Hopes more divine。
Art thou alone�察�and does thy soul complain It lives in vain�拭�Not vainly
does he live who can endure Oh be thou sure�察 �That he who hopes and
suffers here�察�can earn A sure return。
Hast thou found nought within thy troubled life Save inward strife�拭�
Hast thou found all she promised thee�察�Deceit�察�And Hope a cheat�拭�Endure�察�
and there shall dawn within thy breast Eternal rest� �

VERSE�此 �HOME AT LAST
Child�察�do not fear�察�We shall reach our home to´night�察 �For the sky is
clear�察�And the waters bright�察�And the breezes have scarcely strength To
unfold that little cloud�察 �That like a shroud Spreads out its fleecy length
Then have no fear�察�As we cleave our silver way Through the waters clear。
Fear not�察 �my child� �Though the waves are white and high�察�And the
storm blows wild Through the gloomy sky
