And pleasures—pains
Are bound—fast bound in slumber’s chains.
Ah, slumbers keep
The maid who sighs,
The boy who cries,
The bee that flies,
In charmèd sleep.
See how the moon shines in the sky
Her light so pale,
O’er hill and dale;
And pleasures—pains
Are bound—fast bound in slumber’s chains.
Ah, slumbers keep
The maid who sighs,
The boy who cries,
The bee that flies,
In charmèd sleep.
See how the moon shines in the sky
Her light so pale,
O’er hill and dale;
