MOURN'ST THOU NOW?

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?

LONG ago from radiant palace,

Dream-bemused, in flood of moon,

Stole the princess Seraphita

Into forest gloom.

Wail of hemlock; cold the dewdrops;Danced the Dryads in the chace;Heavy hung ambrosial fragrance;Moonbeams blanched her ravished face.

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....

Frail and clear the notes delusive;

Mocking phantoms in a rout

Thridded 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?

Mourn'st thou now? Or do thine eyelids

Frame a vision dark, divine,

O'er this imp of star and wild-flower—

Of a god once thine?
