I will not ask a dearer bliss;
Come with the starry beams, my love,
But gentle sleep shall veil my sight,
Till she disturbed the sacred spell,
'Twas thus, as ancient fables tell,
I will not ask a dearer bliss;
Oh, come to me in dreams, my love!
Thou dost renew thy vows to me.
Then come to me in dreams, my love,
Come with the starry beams, my love,
When, in the visions of the night,
And woke to find her hopes betrayed.
Love visited a Grecian maid,
And press mine eyelids with thy kiss
And press mine eyelids with thy kiss.
And Psyche's lamp shall darkling be,
