Labour’d & waited, still thou lingerest,

Tryest me still’—She turning smil’d & said,

‘Though this be, be not thou uncomforted:

Lo now already thy night-ending sun

In world-seen splendour hath his day begun’.

Come let us drink & deeply drown

In Heav’n’s pure wine our sorrowing!

Fling ye earth’s faded garlands down,

Scatter away life’s flowering!
