Such a land, when tree and flowers tossed their kisses to the breeze?

There the poor heathen live, waiting for day
Groping in ignorance dark as the night

Why do I sing?
For you, for you
To you is due
All praise that song can bring;

The bashful dream, the faltering desire,

And he sat upon a stone,
While ever and anon he chirped
In a sad and mournful tone:

He cast around the naked plain
Where now was but a stubbls…

As cheek by jowl

And prance and dance and whoop and wail
Till their lips are pale,

I light the way for all true loves, across the land of heart's desire
I cannot rest, I cannot sleep,
