To One In Paradise

Thou wast all that to me, love,
For which my soul did pine
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.

Ah, dream too bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from out the Future cries,
"On! on!" but o'er the Past
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!.

For, alas! alas! me
The light of Life is o'er!
"No more no more no more"
(Such language holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunderblasted tree.

Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
