The wearied light is dying down, And earth, and stars, and sea, and sky Are redolent of sleep, as I Am redolent of thee and thine Enthralling love, my Adeline.
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight In veils, and drowned in tears, Sit in a theatre, to see A play of hopes and fears, While the orchestra breathes fitfully The music of the spheres.
For her this rhyme is penned
You buy my spirit with those shameless eyes, That burn my soul, you loose the torrent stream, Of my desire, you make my lips your prize
When scattered glow-worms, but in twilight fine,Shew trivial beauties watch their hour to shine
They had given him back to her, but not to keep
Hearts remote, yet not asunder; Distance, and no space was seen
Hearts remote, yet not asunder; Distance, and no space was seen
So amorous are these that I deem they will slay me
If certain when this life was out That yours and mine
should be, I'd toss life yonder like a rind And taste eternity.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
