I arise from dreams of thee

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers

I dreamed that, as I wandered by the way

I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden

If I walk in Autumn's even

I loved-alas! our life is love

I loved, I love, and when I love no more

I met a traveller from an antique land
In silence then they took the way

Life may change, but it may fly not

Life of Life! thy lips enkindle

Lift not the painted veil which those who live
Like the ghost of a dear friend dead
Listen, listen, Mary mine

The awful shadow of some unseen Power
The babe is at peace within the womb

The blasts of Autumn drive the wingèd seeds.

The cold earth slept below

The everlasting universe of things

The flower that smiles to-day

The fountains mingle with the river.

The golden gates of Sleep unbar

The pale stars are gone

The path thro' which that lovely twain

The rude wind is singing.

The season was the childhood of sweet June

The serpent is shut out from paradise

The sleepless Hours who watch me as I lie

The spider spreads her webs, whether she be

The sun is set; the swallows are asleep

The sun is warm, the sky is clear

The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing.
The wind has swept from the wide atmosphere

The world's great age begins anew

The young moon has fed .

Thou art the wine whose drunkenness is all

Thou, Earth, calm empire of a happy soul

Thy little footsteps on the sands

To the deep, to the deep.

'Twas at the season when the Earth upsprings

Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years

[We] look on that which cannot change-the One
We strew these opiate flowers

[ocr errors]

When passion's trance is overpast

When soft and sunny skies

When the lamp is shattered

When the last hope of trampled France had failed

Where art thou, beloved To-morrow

Wilt thou forget the happy hours
Worlds on worlds are rolling over

Ye gentle visitations of calm thought

Ye hasten to the dead! What seek ye there
