First lines

Once in the twilight of the Austrian hills, / A word came to me, wonderful and good; / If I had spoken it -- that message of the stars -- / Love would have filled thy blood; / Love would have sent thee pulsing to my arms, / Laughing with joy, thy heart a nestling bird / An instant passed -- it fled; and now I seek in vain / For that forgotten word.
