SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: If thou art sleeping, maiden
Last Line: And waters wide and fleet.
Subject(s): Beauty; Love


IF thou art sleeping, maiden,
Awake and open thy door.
'Tis the break of day, and we must away
O'er meadow, and mount, and moor.

Wait not to find thy slippers,
But come with thy naked feet;
We shall have to pass through the dewy grass
And waters wide and fleet.
