 | Tasso and the Sisters |  |
Away!—it was an hour sublime,
When Joy shook hands with passing Time;
And light and love fill'd all the scene
O'er which the bright Moon roll'd the Queen.
The Lovers drank of Passion's cup,
And every feeling wild was up
High in the breast—and soul and sense
Were lost in bliss divine—intense!
Their pulse mov'd quick, their hearts beat high
In all Love's sweet variety;—
Hours swift away as moments flew,
And, one by one, the stars withdrew;—
Yet still on softer couch than down
Lay Reumon—
When Joy shook hands with passing Time;
And light and love fill'd all the scene
O'er which the bright Moon roll'd the Queen.
The Lovers drank of Passion's cup,
And every feeling wild was up
High in the breast—and soul and sense
Were lost in bliss divine—intense!
Their pulse mov'd quick, their hearts beat high
In all Love's sweet variety;—
Hours swift away as moments flew,
And, one by one, the stars withdrew;—
Yet still on softer couch than down
Lay Reumon—
