MOURN'ST THOU NOW?
LONG ago from radiant palace,Dream-bemused, in flood of moon,Stole the princess SeraphitaInto forest gloom.Wail of hemlock; cold the dewdrops;Danced the Dryads in the chace;Heavy hung ambrosial fragrance;Moonbeams blanched her ravished face.Frail and clear the notes delusive;Mocking phantoms in a routThridded the night-cloistered thickets,Wove their sorceries in and out....Mourn'st thou now? Or do thine eyelidsFrame a vision dark, divine,O'er this imp of star and wild-flower—Of a god once thine?

Stole the princess Seraphita
Into forest gloom.

Frame a vision dark, divine,

Of a god once thine?
