Beneath her casement, in that garden old

Dingled with heavy roses; in the gold

Of Camelot's stars and pearl-encrusted moon:

And still he hopes the heartache of the tune

Will clamor secret memories in her ear,

Of life, less dear than death with her not near;

Of love, who longs for her, to have her here:

Till melt her eyes with tears; and sighs and sobs

O'erwhelm her soul, and separation throbs

Hard at her heart, that, longing, lifts to death
