Soft melodies, as sweet as April rain
On silent leaves, and sang those words in which
Passion makes Echo taunt the sleeping strings;
And I would send tales of
forgotten
love _185
Late into the lone night, and sing wild songs
Of maids deserted in the olden time,
And weep like a soft cloud in April's bosom
Upon the sleeping eyelids of the plant,
So that perhaps it dreamed that Spring was come, _190
And crept abroad into the moonlight air,
And loosened all its limbs, as, noon by noon,
The sun averted less his oblique beam.

Leaping, and plunging dripping claws forever
Into bullocks' flesh as they bellow and shiver.

Leaving the windows black against the night;
And when I sank upon the altar steps,

Still twinkled like a star the holy lamp
That cast a dusky glow upon her face.

Dance the green Nerolds of the neighbouring seas.

apparelled
as in days of old,
With ermined mantle and with cloth of gold;
And when his courtiers came, they found him there
Kneeling upon the floor, absorbed in, silent prayer.
