Of moonlight come and go,

And all is hushed to rest

Upon Sleep’s quiet breast,

All save the human heart, that sighing waketh still —

The heart, that never sleeping —

Its lonely vigil keeping —

Findeth still naught on earth its depths to fill.

Thou art like Sleep, oh, Night!

Thou hast a thrilling power,

To awe, e’en with thy loveliest things,
