THE DÆMON LOVER.

UNDER the night, In the white moonshine,

Page 46

Sit thou with me,By the graveyard tree, Imogene.
The fire-flies swarm In the white moonshine, Each with its light For our bridal night, Imogene.
Blushing with love, In the white moonshine, Lie in my arms, So, safe from alarms, Imogene.
Paler art thou Than the white moonshine. Ho! thou art lost— Thou lovest a Ghost, Imogene.
