Shall Earth No More Inspire Thee

Shall earth no more inspire thee
Thou lonely dreamer now?
Since passion may not fire thee
Shall Nature cease to bow?

Thy mind is ever moving
In regions dark to thee
Recall its useless roving
Come back and dwell with me

I know my mountain breezes
Enchant and soothe thee still
I know my sunshine pleases
Despite thy wayward will

When day with evening blending
Sinks from the summer sky
I've seen thy spirit bending
In fond idolatry

I've watched thee every hour
I know my mighty sway
I know my magic power
To drive thy griefs away

Few hearts to mortals given
On earth so wildly pine
Yet none would ask a heaven
More like this earth than thine

Then let my winds caress thee
Thy comrade let me be
Since nought beside can bless thee
Return and dwell with me
