Flees so the phantom meadow 1
Before the breathless Bee－
So bubble brooks in deserts
On Ears that dying lie－
Burn so the Evening Spires 5
To Eyes that Closing go－
Hangs so distant Heaven－
To a hand below.
Before the breathless Bee－
So bubble brooks in deserts
On Ears that dying lie－
Burn so the Evening Spires 5
To Eyes that Closing go－
Hangs so distant Heaven－
To a hand below.
