From the loud worlds bewldering stress:
As bird dreaming on her nest,
As dew hid in a roses breast,
As flesper in the glowing West;
So the heart $ eeps
In thy calm decps,
Serene Forgetiulness!
No sorrow in that place may be,
The noise of life grows less and less:
As moss far down within the sea,
AS, in white lily caves, a bee,
As life in hazy reverie;
So the hearts wave
In thy dim cave,
Hushes, Forgetfulness!
Duty and care fade far away,
What toll may BIZ we cannot guess:
As ship anchored in a bay,
As a cloud at summer-noon astray,
As water-blooms in a breezele IS day;
So, meath thine eyes,
The full heart lies,
And dreams, Forgetfulness!
