'Tis the best thing I can do for him-- And that I will do--free him from my sight. In love I gave myself away to him; And now in love I take myself again. He will not miss me; I am nothing now. * * * * * SCENE III. --_Lord Seaford's garden_. LILIA; LORD SEAFORD. _Lord S_. How the white roses cluster on the trellis! They look in the dim light as if they floated Within the fluid dusk that bathes them round. One could believe that those far distant tones Of scarce-heard music, rose with th...e faint scent, Breathed odorous from the heart of the pale flowers, As the low rushing from a river-bed, Or the continuous bubbling of a spring In deep woods, turning over its own joy In its own heart luxuriously, alone. 'Twas on such nights, after such sunny days, The poets of old Greece saw beauteous shapes Sighed forth from out the rooted, earth-fast trees, With likeness undefinable retained In higher human form to their tree-homes, Which fainting let them forth into the air, And lived a life in death till they returned.
