Yet, though it's gayer notes be flown, My spirit doth rejoice, When deem that visionary tone The echo of her voice For, like the voice of the evening breeze, When the autumn leaf itsstirs, And murmuring music Is on thetrees, Si,: just such voice as hers. Silent and sad, her tomb is there, And my early visions too; Hut her spirit is lingering in the air, E And her tears are in the dew: And the light of her maidenly mournfll
