SONG.

Never, oh never more! shall I behold
  Thy form so fair,
Or loosen from its braids the rippling gold
  Of thy long hair.

Never, oh never more! shall I be blest
  By thy voice low,
Or kiss, while thou art sleeping on my breast,
  Thy marble brow.

Never, oh never more! shall I inhale
  Thy fragrant sighs,
Or gaze, with fainting soul, upon the veil
  Of thy bright eyes.
