The starry skies, they rest my soul
The sweetest blossoms die

The wind sounds only in opposing straits
The woman singeth at her spinning-wheel
They are all gone into the world of light
They bid me sing to thee.

The year lies dying in this evening light
They say that God lives very high
This world is all too sad for tears
Thought is deeper than all speech
Thou say'st, Take up thy cross
Thou who dost dwell alone

Three worlds there are, the first of sense

Thrice happy he whose name is writ above
Thy way is in the deep, O Lord

We watched her breathing through the night
What is it that is gone, we fancied ours?
What mean these slow returns of love, these days
What's that which ere I spake was gone?
What were I, love, if I were stripped of thee

What wonder man should fail to stay
Whence thou hast come thou knowest not, little brook
When God at first made man

When I consider how my light is spent
When I look back upon my former race
When vain desire at last and vain regret
When we were idlers with the loitering rills
Where lies the land to which the ship would go?
White-throated swans and sedges of the mere
Whither, 'midst falling dew

Who feels not when the Spring once more
Who, toiling on the weary round of life
Who will say the world is dying
Why fear that the departed grieves .
