Wild is thy lay, and loud
Far in the downy cloud,

Where art thou journeying
Thy lay is In heaven, thy love is on earth
Der fell and fountain sheen,
Ger moor and mountain green,
Der the red streamerthat heralds the day,
Over the clondlet din,
Over the rainbow's rim,
Musical cherub, soar singing away
Then when the cleaning comes,
Low in the heather blooms,
Sweet will thy welcome and bed Of love be
Emblem Of happiness;
Blest is thy dwelling place,
Otto abide IN the desert with thee"
