In vaults of fathomless obscurity
Where Destiny has sentenced me for life;
Where cheerful rosy beams may never shine;
Where, living with that sullen hostess, Night,
With ever-mocking smile,
Then sweetly, like the moon,
Gaze on my heart a while.
With ever-mocking smile,
Then sweetly, like the moon,
Gaze on my heart a while.
