TfIE DAY·DREAl\1: THE DEPARTURE.
And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she feIt it fold,
And far across the hills they went
In that new world which is the old:
Across the hills, and far away
Beyond their utmost purpIe rim,
And deep into the dying day
The happy princess fo11ow' d him.
"I'd sleep another hundred years,
o love, for such another kiss;"
"Oh, wake forever, love," she hears,
"0 love, 'twas such as this anel this."
And o'er them many a sliding star,
And many a merry wind was borne,
And, stream'd through many a golden bar,
The twilight melted in to morn.
"0 eyes long laid in happy sleep!"
"0 happy sleep, that lightly fled!"
"0 happy kiss, that woke thy sleep!"
"0 love, thy kiss would wake the dead!"
And 0' er them many a flowing range
Of vapor buoy'd the crescent-bark,
And, rapt through many a rosy change,
The twilight died into the dark.
"A hundred summers! can it bc?
And whither goest thou, tell mc where?"
"Oh, seek my father's court \vith me,
For there are greater wonders thcre."
And o'cr thc hills, and far away
Bcyond thcir utmost purpie rirn,
Beyond the night, across the day,
Through a11 the world shc follow'd him.
