To The RiverFair river! in thy bright, clear flow  Of crystal, wandering water,Thou art an emblem of the glow  Of beauty -- the unhidden heart -- The playful maziness of art  In old Alberto's daughter;But when within thy wave she looks -- Which glistens then, and trembles --Why, then, the prettiest of brooks  Her worshipper resembles;For in my heart, as in thy stream, Her image deeply lies --The heart which trembles at the beam  Of her soul-searching eyes.
