Here sleeps the girl
Whose eyes bought dreams from sleep,
And then the night of rendezvous
She spent with her loneliness.
It was a strange waiting!
Pawning the whole city
To the shylock of fate
Just for the convenience
Of on half-lit casement!
But when the star,
On whose strength
The moon had been challenged,
Was about to appear on her forehead,
Aurora was already up
Tolling the kneil of tryst!
