A Charm for Sound Sleeping

My loveless eyes, they gaze on thee
They break the crystal of the sea
That smile for which my feelings sigh
This pain could teach us how to die
Your heart once left thus desolate
Must fly at least for ease to hate
So many summer flowers there
So many shadows love might share
Love’s image upon earth without its wings
I feel relief when sorrows flows
My days though few have passed below
Dark tree, still sad when other’s grief is fled
Grasped in the holy hands of mystery
So beautyful shine, dark eyes flashing free
Last eve in beauty’s circle proudly gay
Let thy scattered shafts of light play
Sleep at noon with branches overground
You can’t enliven dying man for
God takes back his gift
Beat the twilight into flakes of fire
Glow with the glow that slowly crimsoned au Through all memory I found a way
I walked in throughts, today they walk in me
