She hovers round my dreams!

Like the soft early beams,

When day-light through my lattice streams,

Thoughts of her beauty greet my waking hours;

Like fragrance stolen by zephyr from the flowers,

Or odors from the spice-trees pressed by showers

Which fall in summer time

In that delicious clime,—

Told in melodious chime

By Eastern poets—where the bulbul sings
