:51:03
When you have dreamed of praise
:51:07
Like all the forest leaves
:51:10
That the wind is caressing
:51:15
That soothing trembling roar
:51:19
Of the crowd round you pressing
:51:23
As they murmur your name
:51:26
And hold you with their gaze
:51:29
See there the burning joys
:51:32
Before the feet of beauty
:51:40
And these your youth in flower
:51:43
Is ready to abjure
:51:46
How commonplace the toys
:51:50
They'd force you to endure
:51:52
And children swarming round
:51:55
To call you back to duty
:52:05
Ah, what can be that voice
that so disturbs my heart
:52:13
Are those the words of hell
:52:16
Or does God take my part
:52:24
No
:52:25
No
:52:27
No, it is false that delights
that excites me
:52:31
Against ambitious pride
is my love armed to fight
:52:40
For fame cannot rival
the calm that invites me
:52:47
To the home of my heart's delight
:52:54
What kind of love
:52:57
From such a lover
