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.
