SONG.

Never, oh never more! shall I behold   Thy form so fair, Or loosen from its braids the rippling gold   Of thy long hair.

Never, oh never more! shall I be blest   By thy voice low, Or kiss, while thou art sleeping on my breast,   Thy marble brow.

Never, oh never more! shall I inhale   Thy fragrant sighs, Or gaze, with fainting soul, upon the veil   Of thy bright eyes.
