My goddesses, where are your shades? + 

Do ye not hear my mournful sighs? + 

Are ye replaced by other maids + 

Who cannot conjure former joys? + 

Shall I your chorus hear anew, + 

Russia’s Terpsichore review + 

Again in her ethereal dance? + 

Or will my melancholy glance + 

On the dull stage find all things changed, + 

The disenchanted glass direct + 

Where I can no more recollect?⁠— + 

A careless looker-on estranged + 

In silence shall I sit and yawn + 

And dream of life’s delightful dawn? + 
