Excerpt from Undine: A Lyrical Drama One moment let me greet thee ere I pass, One moment, as I tremble, quiver, A rounded silvery globe, thy glass, Soon lost, soon blended with the river. 0 free, free, free from earth's dark prison To sport on her breast, In the light of the sun new risen, In the faint last glow in the west. Each separate drop a life complete A perfect, an individual whole, Sprung into day from its dark retreat, Being, unburdened by soul! Greeting the light, Sparkling, dancing.
