And 'twas, indeed, the perfume shed From flow'rs and scented flame, that fed Her charmed life-for none had e'er Beheld her taste of mortal fare, Nor ever in aught earthly dip, But the morn's dew, her roseate lip. I know where the winged visions dwell I know each herb and flow'ret's bell, Where they hide their wings by day. Then hasten we, maid, To twine our braid, To-morrow the dreams and flowers will fade. |
