"---Theres the true felicity

If there be any in the earth!---"

I

"Oh happiness! Oh! Where thou art?"

Exclim'd I with an aching heart.

A voice instant replied to me--

"In her's the true felicity.

If any there be in the earth!"

II

Then give me what I seek and sought

Refuse-- sweet one! --refuse it not!

For Oh! I know-- I know in thee

"There is the true felicity.

If any there be in the earth!"

III

T' embrace thee and to share thy kiss,

Is surely th'most perfect bliss;--

Who can deny sweet! this to be

"The true -- the real felicity,

If there be any in this earth!"
