For blissful dreams may then arise,
Revealing to my charmed sight
What may not bless my waking eyes.”

Who kissed me and awakened my desire
I spent a single hour with him alone
And since that hour, my days are layed with fire.”

“O beauty of the midnight skies!
O mystery of each distant star!
O dreaming hours, whose magic lies
In rest and calm, with Day afar!
Thanks for the higher moods that wake
Our thoughtful and immortal part!—
Out on our life, could we not make
A spiritual temple of the heart?”
