• Look out upon the stars, my love,
      And shame them with thine eyes,
    On which, than on the lights above,

    Night’s beauty is the harmony
      Of blending shades and light;
    Then, lady, up,—look out, and be
      A sister to the night!

    Sleep not! thine image wakes for aye
      Within my watching breast:...

  • Stars of the summer night!
        Far in yon azure deeps,
    Hide, hide your golden light!
        She sleeps!
    My lady sleeps!
        Sleeps!

    Moon of the summer night!
        Far down yon western steeps,
    Sink, sink in silver light!
        She sleeps!
    My lady sleeps!
        Sleeps!

    Wind of the summer night!...
