And let me iHhale the o30rs
That over the garden blow
dreamed was with my Antony
And in his arms Ilay;
Ahme the vision has vanished
And its music has died away
The fame ani the perfume have vanished
Asthis spiced aromatic pzsrille

Scatter upon fne rose Leaves,
They cool me after NY sleep
And with sandal otor. fan me
TIL into my veins they creep
Reach down the !uis and play E.
