Thus much is yours. 'Tis mine where once she strayed

To cull sad flowers that ne'er shall meet her sight;

To watch, close shrouded in the tall rock's shade,

High up one little casement's glimmering light.

Seest thou, O maid! some star by us unseen,

Buried from us in depths of starless space?

Know'st thou some joy of lesser joys the queen,

That lights so sweet a mystery in thy face?

That face is as the face of them that bask
