But my shrunk heart knew, Rosaline!

The deathwatch tickt behind the wall,

The blackness rustled like a pall,

The moaning wind did rise and fall

Among the bleak pines, Rosaline!

My heart beat thickly in mine ears:

The lids may shut out fleshly fears,

But still the spirit sees and hears,

Its eyes are lidless, Rosaline!

A wildness rushing suddenly,
