¶Liedtext

The clouds that wrap the setting sun When Autumn’s softest gleams are ending, Where all bright hues together run In sweet confusion blending:— Why, as we watch their floating wreath Seem they the breath of life to breathe? To Fancy’s eye their motions prove They mantle round the Sun for love. When up some woodland dale we catch The many-twinkling smile of ocean, Or with pleased ear bewildered watch His chime of restless motion; Still as the surging waves retire They seem to gasp with strong desire, Such signs of love old Ocean gives, We cannot choose but think he lives.
