To her and thee alike is given;

It seemed as if for me alone

That both had been recalled from Heaven!

And though I never can redeem

The vision thus endeared to me;

I scarcely can regret my dream,

When realised again by thee.

There is no more for me to hope,

There

There is no more for thee to fear;

And, if I give my Sorrow scope,

That Sorrow thou shalt never hear.[16]
