My pensive Sara thy soft cheek reclinedA
Thus on mine arm most soothing sweet it isB
To sit beside our cot our cot o'ergrownC
With white flowered jasmine and the broad leaved myrtleD
Meet emblems they of innocence and loveE
And watch the clouds that late were rich with lightF
Slow sad'ning round and mark the star of eveG
Serenely brilliant such should wisdom beH
Shine opposite How exquisite the scentsI
Snatched from yon bean field And the world so hushedJ
The stilly murmur of the distant seaH
Tells us of silence And that simplest luteK
Placed lengthways in the clasping casement harkL
How by desultory breeze caressedM
Like some coy maid half yielding to her loverN
It pours such sweet upbraidings as must needsO
Tempt to repeat the wrong And now its stringsP
Boldlier swept the long sequacious notesQ
Over delicious surges sink and riseR
Such a soft floating witchery of soundS
As twilight elfins make when they at eveG
Voyage on gentle gales from fairylandT
Where melodies round honey dropping flowersU
Footless and wild like birds of paradiseV
Nor pause nor perch hov'ring on untamed wingW
And thus my love as on the midway slopeX
Of yonder hill I stretch my limbs at noonC
Whilst through my half closed eyelids I beholdY
The sunbeams dance like diamonds on the mainC
And tranquil muse upon tranquilityH
Full many a thought uncalled and undetainedH
And many idle flitting fantasiesZ
Traverse my indolent and passive brainC
As wild and various as the random galesA2
That swell and flutter on this subject luteH
And what if all of animated natureN
Be but organic harps diversely framedH
That tremble into thought as o'er them sweepsB2
Plastic and vast one intellectual breezeZ
At once the soul of each and God of allC2
But thy more serious eye a mild reproofG
Darts oh beloved woman nor such thoughtsD2
Dim and unhallowed dost thou not rejectH
And biddest me walk humbly with my GodH
Meek daughter in the family of ChristH
Well hast thou said and holily dispraisedH
These shapings of the unregenerate mindH
Bubbles that glitter as they rise and breakE2
On vain philosophy's aye babbling springW
For never guiltless may I speak of HimF2
Th'Incomprehensible save when with aweG2
I praise him and with faith that inly feelsH2
I praise him and with faith that inly feelsH2
Who with his saving mercies healed meH
A sinful and most miserable manC
Wildered and dark and gave me to possessI2
Peace and this cot and the heart honoured maidH
