Or tufted wild spray  
That keeps, from the dreamer,  
*The moonbeam away--  
Bright beings! that ponder,  
With half closing eyes,  
On the stars which your wonder  
Hath drawn from the skies,  
Till they glance thro' the shade, and  
Come down to your brow  
Like--eyes of the maiden  
Who calls on you now--  
Arise! from your dreaming  
In violet bowers,  
To duty beseeming  
These star-litten hours--  
And shake from your tresses  
Encumber'd with dew  
The breath of those kisses  
That cumber them too--  
(
O! how, without you, Love!  
Could angels be blest?)  
Those kisses of true love  
That lull'd ye to rest!  
Up!--shake from your wing  
Each hindering thing:  
The dew of the night--
