At midnight by the stream I roved	A
To forget the form I loved	A
Image of Lewti from my mind	A
Depart for Lewti is not kind	A
	-
The Moon was high the moonlight gleam	B
And the shadow of a star	C
Heaved upon Tamaha's stream	B
But the rock shone brighter far	C
The rock half sheltered from my view	D
By pendent boughs of tressy yew	D
So shines my Lewti's forehead fair	E
Gleaming through her sable hair	E
Image of Lewti from my mind	A
Depart for Lewti is not kind	A
	-
I saw a cloud of palest hue	D
Onward to the moon it passed	A
Still brighter and more bright it grew	D
With floating colours not a few	D
Till it reach'd the moon at last	A
Then the cloud was wholly bright	A
With a rich and amber light	A
And so with many a hope I seek	F
And with such joy I find my Lewti	A
And even so my pale wan cheek	F
Drinks in as deep a flush of beauty	A
Nay treacherous image leave my mind	A
If Lewti never will be kind	A
	-
The little cloud it floats away	G
Away it goes away so soon	H
Alas it has no power to stay	G
Its hues are dim its hues are grey	G
Away it passes from the moon	H
How mournfully it seems to fly	I
Ever fading more and more	J
To joyless regions of the sky	I
And now 'tis whiter than before	J
As white as my poor cheek will be	A
When Lewti on my couch I lie	I
A dying man for love of thee	A
Nay treacherous image leave my mind	A
And yet thou didst not look unkind	A
	-
I saw a vapour in the sky	I
Thin and white and very high	I
I ne'er beheld so thin a cloud	A
Perhaps the breezes that can fly	I
Now below and now above	K
Have snatched aloft the lawny shroud	A
Of Lady fair that died for love	K
For maids as well as youths have perished	A
From fruitless love too fondly cherished	A
Nay treacherous image leave my mind	A
For Lewti never will be kind	A
	-
Hush my heedless feet from under	L
Slip the crumbling banks for ever	L
Like echoes to a distant thunder	L
They plunge into the gentle river	L
The river swans have heard my tread	A
And startle from their reedy bed	A
O beauteous birds methinks ye measure	L
Your movements to some heavenly tune	H
O beauteous birds 'tis such a pleasure	L
To see you move beneath the moon	H
I would it were your true delight	A
To sleep by day and wake all night	A
	-
I know the place where Lewti lies	M
When silent night has closed her eyes	M
It is a breezy jasmine bower	L
The nightingale sings o'er her head	A
Voice of the Night had I the power	L
That leafy labyrinth to thread	A
And creep like thee with soundless tread	A
I then might view her bosom white	A
Heaving lovely to my sight	A
As these two swans together heave	N
On the gently swelling wave	O
	-
Oh that she saw me in a dream	B
And dreamt that I had died for care	E
All pale and wasted I would seem	B
Yet fair withal as spirits are	C
I'd die indeed if I might see	A
Her bosom heave and heave for me	A
Soothe gentle image soothe my mind	A
To morrow Lewti may be kind	A
