Behold a jocund mo rn i ndeed! -
Sun on high – birds i n sky.
Yonder the whi st firth eathi ng,
Fro where a gale erranteth.

Ye beholdest but the shadow.
That i s a lie!
Mayhap a tithe of trothplight –
Lief I am n ot!
I deem – e'er a nd anon!
My wo rds are but a twi st.
Ti s a feigned lie through loathi ng,
I say!
To a nd fro, save hither,
I s thy love.
A dotard gaffer, I daresay…
Not a loth! -
But vyi ng fo r my ki nsmen!
…a sapli ng n ot!
Beauti ful tyrant!
Fiend angelical!
Dove-feathered raven!
Wolvi sh-raveni ng lamb!
A hamlet fo r a slothful vassal -
Soothi ng ale fo r a parched sot.
Hie t o tell me
What ye judgest as naught;
I behold the shadow!
Wherefo re call me such n ames;
Nay imp am I!
Thou art my aghast hart -
Grazi ng i n the glade.

E'er thou sayest aye!
That i s a lie!
Thief of a plot!
Lief I am n ot!
Now go t o thy tryst!
My wo rds are but a twi st!
Go, leave, t otter!
Fare well! – with joy I came,
Until ye dwi ndlest.
With rue I leave
A mo rsel, nay mo re,
Even the o rb cann ot
Fo r thy journey
Help me melt the ice?!
Hither a nd thither!
