Thy songs her joy at every hour.

You were her sun, now set too soon;

Among the Lydian dames she shines

As, after sunset, glow the lines

Of light the rosy-fingered moon

Throws on her retinue of stars

Spreading a far-flung lane of beams

That gleams the salt sea o’er and streams

Across the rocky shore that bars

In vain the light that floods its gloom,
