Nirvana

by John Hall Wheelock

Sleep on—i lie at heaven’s high oriels,   Over the stars that murmur as they go   Lighting your lattice-window far below. And every star some of the glory spells   Whereof I know. I have forgotten you, long long ago;   Like the sweet, silver singing of thin bells Vanished, or music fading faint and low.   Sleep on—I lie at heaven’s high oriels, Who loved you so.
