Thy voice is on the rolling air;
I hear thee where the waters run;
Thou standest in the rising sun
And in the setting thou art fair
What art thou then? I cannot guess;
But tho' I seem in star and flower
To feel thee some diffusive power
I do not therefore love thee less:
My love involves the love before;
My love is vaster passion now;
Tho' mix'd with God and Nature thou
I seem to love thee more and more
Far off thou art, but ever nigh;
I have thee still, and I rejoice;
I prosper, circled with thy voice;
I shall not lose thee tho' I die
