Yonder I fare
To solitude's lair,
To the land of my phantasy's bringing.

“ Chci sladký vzduch jarní v závrati jmout,
chci větve své k letu rozepnout,
chci vonět, chci vábit, chci šumět, chci kvést,
chci zlato slunce, chci stříbro hvězd.
Rekla má vůle srdci mému:
Dobře se děje zhýčkanému!
Léta jsi těkalo ze slasti v slast;
mne nebýt, neznáš trpět ni vlást.
Jsme zrozeni k činům, či zrozeni k snům? ”
