ON THE LAKE – And I draw in fresh sustenance, new blood from the untrammeled world: how gracious and generous is nature, who holds me to her bosom! The wave sways our boat to the rhythm of the oars, and mountains, nebulously reaching for heaven, meet our course. Eye of mine, why are you downcast? Golden dreams, have you returned? Away dream, golden though you are: here, too, there are love and life. A thousand hovering stars twinkle on the wave, soft mists drink the towering horizon around us, the morning breeze flutters over the shaded bay, and the lake reflects the ripening fruit.
