I only saw her as she pass'd—

A great, sad beauty, in whose eyes

Lay all the loves of Paradise....

You shall not know her—she who sat

Unconscious in my heart all time

I dreamed and wove this wayward rhyme,

And loved and did not blush thereat.

The sunlight of a sunlit land,

A land of fruit, of flowers, and

A land of love and calm delight;
