TO

    1

The bowers whereat, in dreams, I see

    The wantonest singing birds Are lips - and all thy melody

    Of lip-begotten words -

    2

Thine eyes, in Heaven of heart enshrin'd

    Then desolately fall, O! God! on my funereal mind

    Like starlight on a pall -

    3

Thy heart
thy heart! - I wake and sigh, And sleep to dream till day Of truth that gold can never buy - Of the trifles that it may.

1829.
