She fades as starlight on the stream,
As dewfall in the dell ;
All life and love, one ravishing gleam
Stolen from sleep’s crucible ;
That kiss, that vision is a dream :—
And I—most miserable !
Still Echo wails upon the steep,
“ To love—and to forget ! ”
Still sombre whispers from the deep
Sob through Night’s golden net,
And waft upon the wings of sleep
The name of Margaret.
