me, can the human breast

Live—no breath, no air inspiring?

Can the soul of man be blest

If sweet love pour not its fire in?

What to life are soul and spirit,

Is the glow of love to me;

Loveless, what do I inherit—

What? but blank mortality.

Love, smile on! and fears and dangers

To my bosom shall be strangers;

Roll the storm, and fall the rain—

All their menaces are vain.
