a poem from my high school literature

A LOVE POEM

 

I arise from dreams of thee

In the first sweet sleep of night

When the winds are breathing low,

And the stars are shining bright

I arise from dreams of thee

And a spirit in my feet

Hath led me-- who knows how?

To thy chamber window, Sweet

******

Oh lift me from the grass!

I die! I faint! I fail!

Let thy love in kisses rain

On my lips and eyelids pale

My cheek is cold and white, alas!

My heart beats loud and fast;---

Oh! press it to thine own again

Where it will break at last....
