The Moon Maiden's Song

Sleep! Cast thy canopy
   Over this sleeper's brain,
Dim grow his memory,
   When he wake again. Love stays a summer night,
   Till lights of morning come;
Then takes her winged flight
   Back to her starry home. Sleep! Yet thy days are mine;
   Love's seal is over thee:
Far though my ways from thine,
   Dim though thy memory. Love stays a summer night,
   Till lights of morning come;
Then takes her winged flight
   Back to her starry home.
