GABRIELLE
O scarlet berries sunny-bright!
O lake alone and fair!
O castle roaring in the night
With blown Bohemian air!
O spirit-haunted forest, tell
The hidden heart of Gabrielle!
O lake alone and fair!
O castle roaring in the night
With blown Bohemian air!
O spirit-haunted forest, tell
The hidden heart of Gabrielle!
Ah, the superb and virgin face!
Ah once again to see
Transparent thro' the Austrian grace
The English purity!
To hear the English speech that fell
So soft and sweet from Gabrielle!
Ah once again to see
Transparent thro' the Austrian grace
The English purity!
To hear the English speech that fell
So soft and sweet from Gabrielle!
So best, but if it be not so
Yet am I well content
To think that all things yonder grow
Stately and innocent;
To dream of woods that whisper well,
And light, and peace, and Gabrielle.
Yet am I well content
To think that all things yonder grow
Stately and innocent;
To dream of woods that whisper well,
And light, and peace, and Gabrielle.
