No ne'er did the wave in its element steep	A
An island of lovelier charms	B
It blooms in the giant embrace of the deep	A
Like Hebe in Hercules' arms	B
The blush of your bowers is light to the eye	C
And their melody balm to the ear	D
But the fiery planet of day is too nigh	C
And the Snow Spirit never comes here	D
	-
The down from his wing is as white as the pearl	E
That shines through thy lips when they part	F
And it falls on the green earth as melting my girl	E
As a murmur of thine on the heart	F
Oh fly to the clime where he pillows the death	G
As he cradles the birth of the year	H
Bright are your bowers and balmy their breath	G
But the Snow Spirit cannot come here	D
	-
How sweet to behold him when borne on the gale	I
And brightening the bosom of morn	J
He flings like the priest of Diana a veil	I
O'er the brow of each virginal thorn	J
Yet think not the veil he so chillingly casts	K
Is the veil of a vestal severe	H
No no thou wilt see what a moment it lasts	K
Should the Snow Spirit ever come here	D
	-
But fly to his region lay open thy zone	L
And he'll weep all his brilliancy dim	M
To think that a bosom as white as his own	L
Should not melt in the daybeam like him	M
Oh lovely the print of those delicate feet	N
O'er his luminous path will appear	H
Fly my beloved this island is sweet	N
But the Snow Spirit cannot come here	D

	-
I stole along the flowery bank	O
While many a bending seagrape drank	O
The sprinkle of the feathery oar	P
That winged me round this fairy shore	P
	-
'Twas noon and every orange bud	Q
Hung languid o'er the crystal flood	Q
Faint as the lids of maiden's eyes	R
When love thoughts in her bosom rise	R
Oh for a naiad's sparry bower	S
To shade me in that glowing hour	S
	-
A little dove of milky hue	T
Before me from a plantain flew	T
And light along the water's brim	M
I steered my gentle bark by him	M
For fancy told me Love had sent	U
This gentle bird with kind intent	U
To lead my steps where I should meet	N
I knew not what but something sweet	N
	-
And bless the little pilot dove	V
He had indeed been sent by Love	V
To guide me to a scene so dear	H
As fate allows but seldom here	D
One of those rare and brilliant hours	W
That like the aloe's lingering flowers	W
May blossom to the eye of man	X
But once in all his weary span	X
	-
Just where the margin's opening shade	Y
A vista from the waters made	Y
My bird reposed his silver plume	Z
Upon a rich banana's bloom	Z
Oh vision bright oh spirit fair	A2
What spell what magic raised her there	A2
'Twas Nea slumbering calm and mild	B2
And bloomy as the dimpled child	B2
Whose spirit in elysium keeps	C2
Its playful sabbath while he sleeps	C2
	-
The broad banana's green embrace	D2
Hung shadowy round each tranquil grace	D2
One little beam alone could win	E2
The leaves to let it wander in	E2
And stealing over all her charms	B
From lip to cheek from neck to arms	B
New lustre to each beauty lent	U
Itself all trembling as it went	U
	-
Dark lay her eyelid's jetty fringe	F2
Upon that cheek whose roseate tinge	F2
Mixt with its shade like evening's light	G2
Just touching on the verge of night	G2
Her eyes though thus in slumber hid	H2
Seemed glowing through the ivory lid	H2
And as I thought a lustre threw	T
Upon her lip's reflecting dew	T
Such as a night lamp left to shine	I2
Alone on some secluded shrine	I2
May shed upon the votive wreath	J2
Which pious hands have hung beneath	J2
	-
Was ever vision half so sweet	N
Think think how quick my heart pulse beat	N
As o'er the rustling bank I stole	K2
Oh ye that know the lover's soul	K2
It is for you alone to guess	L2
That moment's trembling happiness	M2
