| 1 | 1 | Ah! because the dazzling sun | Ah! why, because the dazzling sun |
| 2 | 2 | Restored my earth to joy | Restored my earth to joy |
| 3 | 3 | Have you departed, every one, | |
| 4 | 4 | And left a desert sky? | And left a desert sky? |
| 5 | 5 | ||
| 6 | 6 | All through the night, your glorious eyes | |
| 7 | 7 | Were gazing down in mine | Were gazing down in mine, |
| 8 | 8 | And with a full heart's thankful sighs | And with a full heart's thankful sighs |
| 9 | 9 | I blessed that watch divine! | I blessed that watch divine! |
| 10 | 10 | ||
| 11 | 11 | I was at peace, and drank your beams | I was at peace, and drank your beams |
| 12 | 12 | As they were life to me | As they were life to me |
| 13 | 13 | And revelled in my changeful dreams | |
| 14 | 14 | Like petrel on the sea. | |
| 15 | while one sweet influence near and far, | ||
| 16 | Thrilled thru and proved us one. | ||
| 17 | 15 | ||
| 18 | 16 | Thought followed thought—star followed star | |
| 17 | Through boundless regions on, | ||
| 18 | While one sweet influence, near and far, | ||
| 19 | Thrilled through and proved us one. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Why did the morning rise to break | ||
| 22 | So great, so pure a spell, | ||
| 19 | 23 | And scorch with fire the tranquil cheek | And scorch with fire the tranquil cheek |
| 20 | 24 | Where your cool radiance fell? | Where your cool radiance fell? |
| 21 | 25 | ||
| 22 | 26 | Blood-red he rose, and arrow-straight, | |
| 23 | 27 | His fierce beams struck my brow; | |
| 28 | The soul of Nature sprang elate, | ||
| 29 | But mine sank sad and low! | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | My lids closed down — yet through their veil | ||
| 32 | I saw him blazing still; | ||
| 33 | And bathe in gold the misty dale, | ||
| 34 | And flash upon the hill. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | I turned me to the pillow then | ||
| 37 | To call back Night, and see | ||
| 38 | Your worlds of solemn light, again | ||
| 39 | Throb with my heart and me! | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | It would not do — the pillow glowed | ||
| 42 | And glowed both roof and floor, | ||
| 43 | And birds sang loudly in the wood, | ||
| 44 | And fresh winds shook the door. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | The curtains waved, the wakened flies | ||
| 47 | Were murmuring round my room, | ||
| 48 | Imprisoned there, till I should rise | ||
| 49 | And give them leave to roam. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | O Stars and Dreams and Gentle Night; | ||
| 52 | O Night and Stars return! | ||
| 24 | 53 | And hide me from the hostile light | And hide me from the hostile light |
| 25 | 54 | That does not warm, but burn | That does not warm, but burn — |
| 55 | |||
| 56 | That drains the blood of suffering men; | ||
| 57 | Drinks tears, instead of dew: | ||
| 58 | Let me sleep through his blinding reign, | ||
| 59 | And only wake with you! |
