Morn gave TO her maiden boon,
The daybreak blue of sunrise

And claimed OF vanquished night
two captive stars;
Her trophies are your eyes.
Nor lent her song unto your laugh
And charged it with all Natures
mirth;
That world-sick souls might seek

In it Elysium here on earth.
But envious evening loved you best

And in her realm st twilight time
She turned your voice to mate In

With shadows dreamiest sunset
