And plunged a long look in his eyes:

She knelt on the mantle of scarlet,

And kissed him on mouth and on eyes,

And mingled her soul with his sighs.

And then in a moment she knew it,—

He deemed her a part of his dream;

And she smiled and she said, "I am Music!

And thy soul—'twas my spirit that drew it,

Thy soul, with a mystical gleam,

A brightness, a glimmer, a gleam."
