Thou dost renew thy vows to me.
And Psyche's lamp shall darkling be,
Then come to me in dreams, my love,
And press mine eyelids with thy kiss.
Come with the starry beams, my love,
Love visited a Grecian maid,

And woke to find her hopes betrayed.
'Twas thus, as ancient fables tell,
But gentle sleep shall veil my sight,
I will not ask a dearer bliss;
And press mine eyelids with thy kiss
When, in the visions of the night,
Oh, come to me in dreams, my love!
Till she disturbed the sacred spell,
I will not ask a dearer bliss;
