The Count returned unto himself, but still / He stayed his horse; and turning round his head, / He gazed into the garden, and one time / It seemed to him, that from the little window / Gleamed the mysterious white frock again, / And something light descended from above / Again, and in the twinkling of an eye / Coursed o'er the garden, shining once again / Among green cucumbers, like to a sunbeam / Stol'n from behind a cloudlet, when it falls / Upon a bit of flint upon a plain, / Or 'mid green meadows on a shallow pool.
