Henry Timrod - Serenade

Henry Timrod - Serenade

Hide, happy damask, from the stars, br What sleep enfolds behind your veil, br But open to the fairy cars br On which the dreams of midnight sail; br And let the zephyrs rise and fall br About her in the curtained gloom, br And then return to tell me all br The silken secrets of the room. br br Ah, dearest! may the elves that sway br Thy fancies come from emerald plots, br Where they have dozed and dreamed all day br In hearts of blue forget-me-nots. br And one perhaps shall whisper thus: br Awake! and light the darkness, Sweet! br While thou art reveling with us, br He watches in the lonely street.
