Lingers no essence of the olden bliss?

Doth not my breath revive the ancient fire,

And fill the shrunken veins of dead desire?

I am the child of all thy joys; ere Death

Swallowed them up each left with me some breath,

Some drop of blood, some accent, or some look,

A token from each fleeting hour I took;

In me thy vanished raptures all unite

The perfect fruit of all thy past delight.

Long have I sought thee, now that thou art found,
