Crowds of people stood between us,/ And the hubbub of the street;/ And the patience farcical/ That oft in sacrifice we meet. Those are all remote domains,/ Wilderness, and sterile waste;/ Ruptured only by the longings/ That my soul to you still haste. My grief has brought me back to you,/ So I am standing by your side,/ O mountains, and I'm listening to/ The waters' murmur deep and wide. Yes! I am hiking, looking, listening.../ How beautifully is all arranged!/ And I am seeking to find out/ If anything, since then, has changed. Nothing, only in a roadside cabin/ A friend of mine has died of age,/ Withered are the willows two/ That used to guard the springtide's stage. Upon our olden ash-trees though/ New leaves again have densely grown,/ Yellow buttercups are shining/ Among the greening grass unmown. And from the fields I feel now blowing/ Eternity's creative breeze/ That into life transforms all death,/ And puts my thoughts again at ease. Welcome my beloved mountains,/ Welcome O my river dear!/ I used to be so far away,/ But now again I am so near.
