THROUGH the light curtains came the perfumed air	A
And flung them back and show'd a garden where	A
The eye could just catch glimpses of those trees	B
Which send sweet messages upon the breeze	B
To lull a maiden's sleep and fan her cheek	C
When inward thoughts in outward blushes speak	C
Bequeath's a silken couch just fit to be	D
A snowy shrine for some fair deity	D
And there a beauty rests lovely as those	E
Enchanted visions haunting the repose	E
Of the young poet when his eyelids shut	F
To dream that love they have but dream'd as yet	G
But dream'd Alas that love should ever be	D
A happiness but made for phantasie	E
And flowers are by her side and her dark eye	H
Seems as it read in them her destiny	D
She knew whose hand had gather'd them she knew	I
Whose sigh and touch were on their scent and hue	I
	-
Beautiful language Love's peculiar own	J
But only to the spring and summer known	J
Ah little marvel in such clime and age	K
As that of our too earth bound pilgrimage	L
That we should daily hear that love is fled	M
And hope grown pale and lighted feelings dead	M
	-
Not for the cold the careless to impart	N
By such sweet signs the silence of the heart	N
But surely in the countries where the sun	O
Lights loveliness in all he shines upon	P
Where love is as a mystery and a dream	Q
One single flower upon life's troubled stream	Q
There there perchance may the young bosom thrill	R
Feeling and fancy linger with love still	R
	-
She look'd upon the blossoms and a smile	S
A twilight one lit up her lip the while	S
Surely her love is blest no leaves are there	A
That aught of lover's misery declare	A
True 'mid them is that pale and pining flower	T
Whose dim blue colour speaks an absent hour	T
Yet it is nothing but that tender sorrow	U
Of those who part to day to meet to morrow	U
	-
For there are hope and constancy beside	V
And are not these to happiness allied	V
And yet upon that maiden's cheek is caught	W
A summer evening's shade of pensive thought	X
As if these large soft eyes knew all their fate	Y
How the heart would its destiny create	Y
At once too tender and too passionate	F
Too made for happiness to be happy here	Z
An angel fetter'd to an earthly sphere	A2
And those dark eyes so large so soft so bright	B2
So clear as if their very tears were light	B2
They tell that destiny art thou not one	O
To whom love will be like the summer sun	O
That feeds the diamond in the secret mine	C2
Then calls it from its solitude to shine	C2
And piece by piece be broken Watch the bloom	D2
And mark its fading to an early tomb	D2
And read in the decay upon it stealing	E2
Of thy own wasted hope and wither'd feeling	E2
Ay fitting messengers for love as fair	A
As quickly past as his own visions are	F2
Fling fling the flowers away	G2
