When sunlight faileth,& day’s glow is gone;When chill mist trailethWhere warm splendour shone;When summer’s pleasureDieth,—dieth tooThe transient treasureThat with life up-grew& none may herit,Where then wilt thou turn,O vagrant spirit,That no home didst earn;When none repliethOf thy friends so true,When sweet Joy crieth‘Adieu, love, adieu!’

When sunlight faileth,
& day’s glow is gone;
When chill mist traileth
Where warm splendour shone;
When summer’s pleasureDieth,—dieth tooThe transient treasureThat with life up-grew
When summer’s pleasure
Dieth,—dieth too
The transient treasure
That with life up-grew
& none may herit,Where then wilt thou turn,O vagrant spirit,That no home didst earn;
& none may herit,
Where then wilt thou turn,
O vagrant spirit,
That no home didst earn;
When none repliethOf thy friends so true,When sweet Joy crieth‘Adieu, love, adieu!’
When none replieth
Of thy friends so true,
When sweet Joy crieth
‘Adieu, love, adieu!’
