Zephyrs soft their fragrance Round my pathway fling! Ah, what deep desiring Wafts to me the spring! Heart, why wildly beating? Greet’st thou not the spring? Cease thy sad repeating,— “Peace it will not bring.” Zephyrs soft their fragrance Round my pathway fling! Ah! what deep desiring Wafts to me the spring! Peace from pain and sorrow, Peace from love and hate, Peace from vain repinings That upon thee wait,— These from off thy spirit Never shalt thou fling; Yet, O heart! forget them In the smile of spring. Zephyrs soft their fragrance Round my pathway fling! Ah! what deep desiring Wafts to me the spring!
