When indistinctness of pale lips

Breathed on my hair; faint finger-tips

Fluttered their starlight on my brow;

When on my eyes, I knew not whence,

Vague kisses fell: then, like a vow,

Within my heart, an aching sense

Of vampire winning. And I heard

Her name slow-syllabled—a word

Of haunting harmony—and then

Low-whispered, "Thou! at last, 'tis thou!"
