Her lover back; and he on secret wing

Came with the dark, and in the darkness fled.

24

And this was all her life; for every night

He came, and though his name she never learn’d,

Nor was his image yielded to her sight

At morn or eve, she neither look’d nor yearn’d

Beyond her happiness: and custom brought

An ease to pleasure; nor would Psyche’s thought

Have ever to her earthly home return’d,
