Where wild bees have honey-cells;

Not from where sweet water-sounds

Thrill the green wood to its bounds;

Not to waste their scented breath

On the silent room of Death!

Kindred to the breeze they are,

And the glow-worm's emerald star,

And the bird, whose song is free,

And the many-whispering tree;

Oh! too deep a love, and vain,
