If I should from my grave arise
To wander in the eventide,
Turn thou in thine old lovely wise;
When at thy side
The meadowsweet a fragrance takes,
Too full to be of earthliness,
And in dim boughs a song awakes
Of ecstasies --
So wild thy very heart shall leap
And sink again to its old peace,
And that arise that lay asleep
More sweet than these.
