It would weigh down your flight;
And true love caresses--
O! leave them apart!

In Scripture is this passage--"The sun shall not harm
thee by day, nor the moon by night." It is perhaps not
generally known that the moon, in Egypt, has the effect of
producing blindness to those who sleep with the face exposed
to its rays, to which circumstance the passage evidently
alludes.
They are light on the tresses,
But lead on the heart.
Ligeia! Ligeia!
My beautiful one!
Whose harshest idea
Will to melody run,
O! is it thy will
On the breezes to toss?
Or, capriciously still,
*
Like the lone Albatross,
Incumbent on night
As she on the air)
(
To keep watch with delight
On the harmony there?
