The fishes flash and leap;

There is a life of loveliest things

O'er thee, so fast asleep.

In the deep West the heavens grow heavenlier,

Eve after eve; and still

The glorious stars remember to appear;

The roses on the hill

Are fragrant as before:

Only thy face, of all that's dear,

I shall see nevermore!

UNDINES OF DIVERSE DAYS

I

he eyes of heaven were on her bent,

In a rapture of loving wonderment, 

As her song with the nightingale's was blent:

And one yearn'd for a love, and one sigh'd for a soul!
