/ I. O heart that vainly follows / The flight of summer swallows, / Far over holts and hollows, / O'er frozen buds and flowers; / To violet seas and levels, / Where Love Time's locks dishevels / With merry mimes and revels / Of aphrodisiac Hours.

/ II. O Love who, dreaming, borrows / Dead love from sad to-morrows, / The broken heart that sorrows, / The blighted hopes that weep; / Pale faces pale with sleeping; / Red eyelids red with weeping; / Dead lips dead secrets keeping, / That shake the deeps of sleep!
