TO SIDNEY LANIER (1) by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THE DEWDROP HOLDS THE HEAVEN ABOVE
Last Line: WITH AN IMMORTAL LAY.
Subject(s): LANIER, SIDNEY (1842-1881);
THE dewdrop holds the heaven above,
Wherein a lark, unseen,
Outpours a rhapsody of love
That fills the space between.

My heart a dewdrop is, and thou,
Dawn-spirit, far away,
Fillest the void between us now
With an immortal lay.
