And flings, I know not why, to-night,

Some witchery o’er my dreaming.

Because we’ve pass’d some joyous days,

And danced some merry dances;

Because we love old Beaumont’s plays,

And old Froissart’s romances!

Because whene’er I hear your words

Some pleasant feeling lingers;

Because I think your heart has chords,

That vibrate to your fingers!
