It was about the middle night
And under such a starless dome
When gliding from the mountain's height
I saw a shadowy spirit come

By daring wilder sorrow;
Could I gain thy love to-night,
I’d hazard death to-morrow."

"The birds that now so blithely sing
Through deserts, frozen dry,
Poor spectres of the perished spring,
In famished troops will fly."
