Or that the selfish world can chill  
Or that the selfish world can chill
One glow of fond emotion,
One glow of fond emotion,
For those who made it dearer still,  
For those who made it dearer still,
And shared my wild devotion.
And shared my wild devotion.

Oft look on those who loved them too  
Oft look on those who loved them too
With fancy's idle gladness;  
With fancy's idle gladness;
Again I long to view the light  
Again I long to view the light
In Nature's features glowing,  
In Nature's features glowing,
Again to tread the mountain's height,  
Again to tread the mountain's height,
And taste the soul's o'erflowing.
And taste the soul's o'erflowing.}}

1  Oh say not that my heart is cold
To aught that once could warm it,
That Nature's form, so dear of old,
No more hath power to charm it,
Or that the selfish world can chill
One glow of fond emotion,
For those who made it dearer still,
And shared my wild devotion.

2  Still oft those solemn scenes I view
In wrapt and dreamy sadness,
Oft look on those who loved them too
With fancy's idle gladness;
Again I long to view the light
In Nature's features glowing,
Again to tread the mountain's height,
And taste the soul's o'erflowing.
