An idyl of the Rhine . .But when I heard the captain cry,Aboard! and others shout Good-by!The world became a blank, and heWho held my hand, the world to quickly raised my drooping faceToward his for one more sweet embrace; 38 Paftingf Scenes* AiKl he, ns quickly, bowed liis kissing me most fondlj^ mingled tones of love and pain:Leben sie wolil, auf loiedersehcn!A moment after he had I, upon the deck, alone,In silent tears of grief remainedTo dream of Paradise stood and watched me from the shore,I saw him kiss a glove he woreAnd wave it in a last adieuTill glove and Love were lost to view. 39 An Idyl of the Rliine. r€nuoU Oh, gay, impulsive, trusting , hopeful days when life, forsooth,Is naught but sunbeams, love and tears are only gentle Joys which follow in thy trainSoon leave us neer to come days, too quickly flown!Had my fair springtime never knownA romance so divinely sweetThe season would be incomplete. 40.
