I bless the power of this charmed summer night, br I bless its magic and its mystery, br Which in ecstatic visions brings to me br The worshiped presence of my soul's delight. br Mine eyes are sealed, but on my clearer sight br Her heaven-bright features shine more radiantly, br Her sweet voice with a richer melody br Enchants the dark, more luminous than light. br I miss the sense of daylight's haunting ills, br Bathed in this lambent tide of sleep and love; br I only see one dazzling image beam, br Shrined in a rosy universe of dream, br Fairer than Dian bending tranced above br The sleeping shepherd on the Latmian hills.
