First lines
Morns like these we parted; Noons like these she rose, Fluttering first, then firmer, To her fair repose.
Never did she lisp it, And 't was not for me; She was mute from transport, I, from agony!
Till the evening, nearing, One the shutters drew -- Quick! a sharper rustling!
And this linnet flew!
