¶Liedtext

O, sweet are Sorrow and her sister Pain, And dear the troubled discord of their song; For Love, whose sleep grows heavy, soothed too long By mild Prosperity’s unbroken strain, Awakened by their boding cry is fain To stretch his slackened pinions, doubly strong Through fear lest Death should do his treasures wrong, And his neglected joys untimely wane. For still we doze away the summer hours Until the first red spot is on the leaf; Ah! then we cry, the blossom-time is brief, Would these were buds again that now are flowers! And, as we tread our too fast fading hours, Love, faint with ease, wins Life anew from Grief.
