Among the grasses ’neath the open skies,

And heard the mounting larks, whose carol spoke

Delighted invitation to arise,

She lay as one who after many a league

Hath slept off memory with his long fatigue,

And waking knows not in what place he lies:

2

Anon her quickening thought took up its task,

And all came back as it had happ’d o’ernight;

The sad procession of the wedding mask,
