A little while I've holyday !

Where wilt thou go my harassed heart ?

Full many a land invites thee now;

And places near, and far apart

Have rest for thee, my weary brow -

There is a spot 'mid barren hills

Where winter howls and driving rain

But if the dreary tempest chills

There is a light that warms again

The house is old, the trees are bare

And moonless bends the misty dome

But what on earth is half so dear -

So longed for as the hearth of home ?

The mute bird sitting on the stone,

The dank moss dripping from the wall,

The garden-walk with weeds o'ergrown

I love them – how I love them all !

Shall I go there? or shall I seek

Another clime, another sky,

Where tongues familiar music speak

In accents dear to memory ?

Yes, as I mused, the naked room,

The flickering firelight died away

And from the midst of cheerless gloom

I passed to bright unclouded day -

A little and a lone green lane

That opened on a common wide

A distant, dreamy, dim blue chain

Of mountains circling every side -

A heaven so clear, an earth so calm,

So sweet, so soft, so hushed in air

And, deepening still the dreamlike charm,

Wild moor-sheep feeding everywhere -

That was the scene – I knew it well

I knew the pathways far and near

That winding o'er each billowy swell

Marked out the tracks of wandering deer

Could I have lingered but an hour

It well had paid a week of toil

But truth has banished fancy's power

I hear my dungeon bars recoil -

Even as I stood with raptured eye

Absorbed in bliss so deep and dear

My hour of rest had fleeted by

And given me back to weary care

«Ах! Зачем поутру ослепительно солнце…»

Ах! Зачем поутру ослепительно солнце

Возвращает мне радость земли,

Вы растаяли все в одиноком оконце,

Из пустынного неба ушли?
