Ah, sunlight of morning, to me thou but flingest

Thy purple-dyed beams o’er the grave of the past!

Ah, twilight of evening, thy strains thou but singest

To one whose deep slumbers forever must last!

TO MINNA.

Do I dream? can I trust to my eye?

My sight sure some vapor must cover?

Or, there, did my Minna pass by—

My Minna—and knew not her lover?

On the arm of the coxcomb she crossed,

Well the fan might its zephyr bestow;

Herself in her vanity lost,

That wanton my Minna?—Ah, no!

In the gifts of my love she was dressed,

My plumes o’er her summer hat quiver;

The ribbons that flaunt in her breast

Might bid her—remember the giver!

And still do they bloom on thy bosom,

The flowerets I gathered for thee!

Still as fresh is the leaf of each blossom,

‘Tis the heart that has faded from me!
