From thy boudoir thou leanest still. In soft abandonment of will. Beautiful, beautiful Dreamer! Look, Maiden, look. Into the far dim future gaze. Thy sweet and full harmonious face An open music-book. Oh! could I find The art to strike the spirit keys And pour a flood of reveries Out on the wind ! Thou wilt no words.'' Dear, silent Improvisatrice. Thy thoughts take flight., mute melodies, Like songless birds ! And yet we know Beneath the shield of those sweet hives, In a cell within a cell, sur...vives A busy beating heart : Moist, rosy palm, Redseam^d like the maple's leaf. And sculptured nails in bas-relief. Pink as its stem — Her chin bear up ! Press dimples back upon her mouth Like the sw^eet magnolia of the South, Within its velvet cup: 97 And dreamy eye, Deep, languishingly deep. Erect With Fancy's wand, blue Architect! PaviUons in the sky! Dear, darling Reverist, Strive on, with causeless tears, to reach The mysteries Nature has to teach Thy lips by Fancy kissed ! Dutiful, dutiful Dreamer, Dream purely, till in union sweet.
