Dreams too sweet would haunt her bed;

Dreams of youth—of spring-time eves—

Music—beauty—all she leaves!

Hush! 'tis thou that dreaming art,

Calmer is her gentle heart.

Yes! o'er fountain, vale, and grove,

Leaf and flower, hath gush'd her love;

But that passion, deep and true,

Knows not of a last adieu.

Types of lovelier forms than these,
