Above the clouds, above the clouds I sail
And wish my mind
Above its clouds could climb as well,
And leave behind
The world and all its crowds,
And ever dwell
In such a calm and limpid solitude
With ne'er a breath unkind or harsh or rude
To break the spell, To break the spell -
With ne'er a thought to drive away
The golden splendor of the day -
Alone and lost beneath the tranquil blue,
My God! With You!
