Dreams of Sunset.
Waftings of Paradise,
Perfumes of Eden,
Under red sunset skies
Amorous flower-sighs,
Odours like melodies,
Drifting love-laden!
Perfumes of Eden,
Under red sunset skies
Amorous flower-sighs,
Odours like melodies,
Drifting love-laden!
Lights of the western air,
Seraphs of even,
Waving your rainbow hair,
Stars on your foreheads fair,
Thronging the golden stair
Leading to Heaven!
Seraphs of even,
Waving your rainbow hair,
Stars on your foreheads fair,
Thronging the golden stair
Leading to Heaven!
Spirits of holiness,
Guard me and keep me!
Come, with your soft caress
Banish my loneliness,
In sweet forgetfulness
Bathe me and steep me.
Guard me and keep me!
Come, with your soft caress
Banish my loneliness,
In sweet forgetfulness
Bathe me and steep me.
June 24th, 1886.
