Far, far from each other
English source:
Matthew Arnold
Far, far from each other
Our spirits have flown.
And what heart knows another?
Ah! who knows his own?
Blow, ye winds! lift me with you
I come to the wild.
Fold closely, O Nature!
Thine arms round thy child.
Ah, calm me! restore me
And dry up my tears
On thy high mountain platforms,
Where Morn first appears,
Our spirits have flown.
And what heart knows another?
Ah! who knows his own?
Blow, ye winds! lift me with you
I come to the wild.
Fold closely, O Nature!
Thine arms round thy child.
Ah, calm me! restore me
And dry up my tears
On thy high mountain platforms,
Where Morn first appears,
