Poems (Blind)/Aspirations/XI.

by Mathilde Blind

XI.

Blossoms rain upon the lea;  Moonbeams on the silent sea; Dewdrops on the linden-tree;  And my fancies upon thee.

Milk-white blossoms fade away;  Quenched in night the moony ray; Dews are dead at break of day;  Fancies droop all wan and gray.

But the lea blooms fair and bright;  And the sea rolls on in might; And the lime waves day and night;  And thou standest in thy height.
