To the River вЄї

Fair river! in thy bright, clear flow

Of crystal, wandering water,

Thou art an emblem of the glow

Of beautyвБ†вАФthe unhidden heartвБ†вАФ

The playful maziness of art

In old AlbertoвАЩs daughter;

But when within thy wave she looksвБ†вАФ

Which glistens then, and tremblesвБ†вАФ

Why, then, the prettiest of brooks

Her worshipper resembles;

For in my heart, as in thy stream,

Her image deeply lies

His heart which trembles at the beam

Of her soul-searching eyes.
