/ I. Came a spicy smell of showers / On the purple wings of night, / And a pearl-encrusted crescent / On the lake looked still and white, / While a sound of distant singing / From the vales rose sad and light.
/ II. Dripped the musk of sodden roses / From their million heavy sprays, / And the nightingales were sobbing / Of the roses amorous praise / Where the raven down of even / Caught the moonlight's bleaching rays.
