¶Liedtext

Blest as th'immortal gods is he, The youth who fondly sits by thee; And hears and sees thee all the while, Sweetly speak and sweetly smile. 'Twas this depriv'd my soul of rest, And rais'd such tumults in my breast; For while I gaz'd, in transport toss'd, My breath was gone, my voice was lost. My bosom glow'd a subtle flame, Ran quick thro' all my vital frame: O'er my dim eyes a darkness hung; My ears with hollow murmurs rung. In dewy damps my limbs were chill'd; My blood with gentle horror thrill'd. My feeble pulse forgot to play, I fainted, sunk and died away.
