To-night the liquid wave hath not,

(Illumined by the moonlit beam

Playing upon the lake beneath,

Like frolic in a fairy dream—)

The liquid wave hath not, to-night,

In all her moonlit pride, a fair

Gift-like to them that, on thy lip,

Do breathe and laugh and home it there.

Then come, love, come!

To-night, to-night, my gentle one,
