To Happiness - ZaunköniG - 22.07.2007 To Happiness O happiness! thou fair enchanting form, That, rob’d in brightness, swiftly steal’st along; Oft mingling with the gay the glittering throng Of blue-eyed laughing Hope – or glowing warm, In fancy’s rainbow colours sweetly drest, Flitt’st on light silken wings before my sight – Ah! why so soon pursue thine airy flight! Return – return – and bless this throbbing breast. Alas! in vain I spread my eager arms: In vain I court thy heavenly smile serene – Thou’rt but a wanderer through this changeful scene, And fleeting are thy transitory charms. Yes angel form! thy dwelling is not here; Thou reignest in some loftier purer sphere! |
