NIRVANA, by JOHN HALL WHEELOCK Poet's Biography
First Line: Sleep on - I lie at heaven's high oriels
Last Line: Who loved you so.
First Line: Sleep on - I lie at heaven's high oriels
Last Line: Who loved you so.
Sleep on -- I lie at heaven's high oriels,
Over the stars that murmur as they go
Lighting your lattice-window far below;
And every star some of the glory spells
Whereof I know.
I have forgotten you, long long ago;
Like the sweet, silver singing of thin bells
Vanished, or music fading faint and low.
Sleep on -- I lie at heaven's high oriels,
Who loved you so.
