Will it not seem as if the sunny day

Turn’d from its door away?

While through its chambers wandering, weary-hearted,

I languish for thy voice, which past me still

Went like a singing rill?

“Under the palm-trees thou no more shalt meet me,

When from the fount at evening I return,

With the full water-urn;

Nor will thy sleep’s low dove-like breathings greet me,

As midst the silence of the stars I wake,
