Flow o'er each godlike part.
The marble grew softer and softer,
The eyes were dimmed with haze,
While through the entangled lashes
There came such a longing gaze.

The arms bent like circling willows,
That call for rest in the shade;
The cheeks flushed and paled in an instant,
As the glows of the sunset fade.
Her lips were parted to kiss me,
Her breath was heavy with love,
When she passed from my hungry vision
Into the clouds above.
