Beneath the vine clad eaves | B |
Whose shadows fall before | C |
Thy lowly cottage door | C |
Under the lilac's tremulous leaves | B |
Within thy snowy clasped hand | D |
The purple flowers it bore | C |
Last eve in dreams I saw thee stand | D |
Like queenly nymph from Fairy land | D |
Enchantress of the flowery wand | E |
Most beauteous Isadore | F |

II | A |
- | |
And when I bade the dream | G |
Upon thy spirit flee | H |
Thy violet eyes to me | H |
Upturned did overflowing seem | G |
With the deep untold delight | I |
Of Love's serenity | H |
Thy classic brow like lilies white | I |
And pale as the Imperial Night | I |
Upon her throne with stars bedight | I |
Enthralled my soul to thee | H |
- | |
III | A |
- | |
Ah ever I behold | I |
Thy dreamy passionate eyes | J |
Blue as the languid skies | J |
Hung with the sunset's fringe of gold | I |
Now strangely clear thine image grows | K |
And olden memories | L |
Are startled from their long repose | K |
Like shadows on the silent snows | K |
When suddenly the night wind blows | K |
Where quiet moonlight lies | J |
- | |
IV | M |
- | |
Like music heard in dreams | N |
Like strains of harps unknown | O |
Of birds for ever flown | O |
Audible as the voice of streams | N |
That murmur in some leafy dell | P |
I hear thy gentlest tone | O |
And Silence cometh with her spell | P |
Like that which on my tongue doth dwell | P |
When tremulous in dreams I tell | P |
My love to thee alone | O |
- | |
V | M |
- | |
In every valley heard | I |
Floating from tree to tree | M |
Less beautiful to me | M |
The music of the radiant bird | I |
Than artless accents such as thine | Q |
Whose echoes never flee | M |
Ah how for thy sweet voice I pine | Q |
For uttered in thy tones benign | Q |
Enchantress this rude name of mine | Q |
Doth seem a melody | M |
