And the moth with snowy wing
Circles round in winding whirls,
Through sweet evening's sprinkled pearls,
On each nodding rush besprent;
Dancing on from bent to bent;
Now to downy grasses clung,
Resting for a while he's hung;
Then, to ferry oer the stream,
Vanishing as flies a dream;
Playful still his hours to keep,
Till his time has come to sleep;
In tall grass, by

Weary then he drops to bed.

Else we should crawl along the years
Labour'd with measurable joys
No greater than our life,

Serious delight.

Sonnets from the Portugese |

you feel,
Still think, my love, what joys these woods conceal;
Here dwell around

The streams' soft murmurs, and the balmy breeze,
Invite to sleep; these vales where breathe the doves,
All, all, my dear Joconde, renew our loves;
You laugh!
