My heart is anywhere
That beauty lingers long --
Upon a mountain peak,
Within a new-made song.

It is a vagrant thing,
It shines in garish glee,
Now laughing from a cloud
Then quiet in a tree.

Light love is not my fancy,
And roving's not my will;
But I can look on beauty
And never get my fill.

So, if it bring me that
Which is beyond compare,
My heart may linger lightly
Or laggard anywhere.
