     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.
