The gathering night spreads her cloudafar. Though wedded to the moon;In the forest I hear the night owl screech, On the shore the oceans child of earth, with thine eyes of nightAnd figure of sylph-like form,As the elements wild the emotions stir 123 And burst in terrific storm,Of a passion that like the cyclone swells My tongue would tell to thee,Of a love that is great as the ocean wide In its vast earth is still, and the night windsighs As I my love declareAnd lay my heart at thy fair young feet, My Queen, beyond compare!. 124
