Seeing the couch where she that night had lain.

The level sunbeams search’d the grassy ground

For diamond dewdrops. Ah! was this the place?

Where was the court, her home? she look’d around

And question’d with her memory for a space.

There was the cypress, there the well-known wood,

That wall’d the spot: ’twas here her palace stood,

As surely as ’twas vanish’d without trace.
