I
          no! no!
    Bird in the darkness singing,
        I will not forget!
    Trill me thy tender lay again,—
    Thy song of passion and of pain;
    Set all the sweet vale ringing
        With thy canzonet.
Cling to thy branch, O bird, and cry,
“Love me, my love, or let me die!”
    With ecstasy I hear thee...
