The Lake |
In youth’s spring, it was my lot |
To haunt of the wide earth a spot |
To which I could not love the less |
So lovely was the loneliness |
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound |
And the tall trees that towered around |
But when the night had thrown her pall |
Upon that spot as upon all |
And the wind would pass me by |
In its stilly melody |
My infant spirit would awake |
To the terror of the lone lake |
My infant spirit would awake |
To the terror of the lone lake |
Yet that terror was not fright |
But a tremulous delight |
And a feeling undefined |
Springing from a darkened mind |
Death was in that poisoned wave |
And in its gulf, a fitting grave |
For him who thence could solace bring |
To his dark imagining |
Whose wildering thought could even make |
An Eden of that dim lake |
But when the night had thrown her pall |
Upon that spot as upon all |
And the wind would pass me by |
In its stilly melody |
My infant spirit would awake |
To the terror of the lone lake |
My infant spirit would awake |
To the terror of the lone lake |
My infant spirit would awake |
To the terror of the lake |
Springing from a darkened mind |
So lovely was the loneliness |
In youth’s spring, it was my lot |
In its stilly melody |
An Eden of that dim lake |
An Eden of that dim lake |
Lone, lone, lonely |
Lone, lone, lonely |
Lone, lone, lonely |
