ADAM. 
Yes ! now I feel the charm divine, 
Yes ! now I feel the bliss, the pride. 
To press thee, dearest ! to my side, 
And join my early vows to thine. 
A unity in love cemented, 
Blest by thy presence, and by thee 
Gilded with smiles and purity. 
May make my exiled soul contented. 
Oh, sister ! — daughter ! — fairest bride ! 
What shall I call thee ? Paradise 
Has million flowers that smiling rise 
To kiss thy feet, well satisfied. 
EVE. 
Love ! one shall be our will, and one 
Our fate from the first dawn of day, 
When the bright sun begins his way. 
To when his weary course is done. 
Peace, tenderness, and joy, — a shrine 
Sacred to cheerful love and praise 
To Him, the Lord of ceaseless days, 
Who blended thy fond heart with mine. 
VONDEL.
