The golden gates of Sleep unbar / Where Strength and Beauty, met together, / Kindle their image like a star / In a sea of glassy weather! / Night, with all thy stars look down,- / Darkness, weep thy holiest dew,- / Never smiled the inconstant moon / On a pair so true. / Let eyes not see their own delight; - / Haste, swift Hour, and thy flight / Oft renew.

Fairies, sprites, and angels, keep her! / Holy stars, permit no wrong! / And return to wake the sleeper, / Dawn,-ere it be long! / O joy! O fear! what will be done / In the absence of the sun! / Come along!
