THE TALE OF ARCHAIS
83
Shall be shot at bold intruders who would
violate your peace ;
Lightning shall keep watch and warden through
the sea-born isles of Greece.
Sleep ! Sleep !
Sleep, ye happy lovers, sleep,
Soft and dreamless, sweet and deep,
Sleep ! Sleep !
We will steal away
Till the break of day.
ARCHAIS
In the arms of love at last
Love is anchored fast,
Firm beyond the rage of Heaven, safe beyond
the ocean blast.
CHARICLES
In the arms of love close prest,
And thy tender breast
Pillows now my happy head ; softly breezes from
the west
Both
Stir the ring-doves nest.
