Shook Lyra with all its star chord

And dawn's gray eyes were troubled

And souls went palely up the sky.

There was no change In her deep heart
Since last that deep heart knocked ut

Wherein did ever come and go
The sparkle of tho fountain-drops
From her sweet soul below.
The chambers in the house of dreams
Are fed with so divine an air
That times hoar wings grow young

And they who walk there are most,

Where our last kiss still warns the air
Nor can her eyes go out.

She's winsome, sweet and dear;
