She left me at the silent timeA
When the moon had ceas'd to climbA
The azure path of Heaven's steepB
And like an albatross asleepB
Balanc'd on her wings of lightC
Hover'd in the purple nightC
Ere she sought her ocean nestD
In the chambers of the WestD
She left me and I stay'd aloneE
Thinking over every toneE
Which though silent to the earF
The enchanted heart could hearF
Like notes which die when born but stillG
Haunt the echoes of the hillG
And feeling ever oh too muchH
The soft vibration of her touchH
As if her gentle hand even nowI
Lightly trembled on my browI
And thus although she absent wereJ
Memory gave me all of herJ
That even Fancy dares to claimK
Her presence had made weak and tameK
All passions and I lived aloneE
In the time which is our ownE
The past and future were forgotL
As they had been and would be notL
But soon the guardian angel goneM
The daemon reassum'd his throneE
In my faint heart I dare not speakN
My thoughts but thus disturb'd and weakN
I sat and saw the vessels glideO
Over the ocean bright and wideO
Like spirit winged chariots sentP
O'er some serenest elementQ
For ministrations strange and farR
As if to some Elysian starR
Sailed for drink to medicineS
Such sweet and bitter pain as mineT
And the wind that wing'd their flightC
From the land came fresh and lightC
And the scent of winged flowersU
And the coolness of the hoursU
Of dew and sweet warmth left by dayV
Were scatter'd o'er the twinkling bayV
And the fisher with his lampW
And spear about the low rocks dampW
Crept and struck the fish which cameK
To worship the delusive flameK
Too happy they whose pleasure soughtX
Extinguishes all sense and thoughtX
Of the regret that pleasure leavesY
Destroying life alone not peaceZ
