long-vanish'd

And thou wert bound to me In the long-vanish'd Eld eternally! In the dark troubled tablets which enroll The Past my Muse beheld this blessed scroll "One with thy love my soul!" Oh yes, I learned in awe, when gazing there, How once one bright inseparate life we were, How once, one glorious essence as a God, Unmeasured space our chainless footsteps trod All Nature our abode!

Friedrich Schiller - The Works of Frederich Schiller
