And well he knows that winging hence it'll sing

These aching notes, whose beauties burn and pain

Its anguished heart now sobless, not in vain

Wild 'neath her casement in that garden old

Dingled with heavy roses; in the gold

Of Camelot's stars and pearl-encrusted moon;

And if it dies, the heartache of the tune

Shall clamor stormy passion at her ear,

Of death more dear than life if love be there;

Melt her quick eyes to tears, her throat to sobs
