Strona 109 - How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank ! Here will we sit and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Strona 117 - When coarser souls are wrapt in sleep, — Sweet spirit, meet me then. There is an hour when holy dreams, Through slumber, fairest glide ; And in that mystic hour it seems Thou shouldst be by my...
Strona 122 - Alas! what boots it with uncessant care To tend the homely, slighted, shepherd's trade And strictly meditate the thankless Muse ? Were it not better done, as others use, To sport with Amaryllis in the shade, Or with the tangles of Neaera's hair?
