Sleep! Cast thy canopy <br /> Over this sleeper's brain, <br />Dim grow his memory, <br /> When he wake again. <br /> <br />Love stays a summer night, <br /> Till lights of morning come; <br />Then takes her winged flight <br /> Back to her starry home. <br /> <br />Sleep! Yet thy days are mine; <br /> Love's seal is over thee: <br />Far though my ways from thine, <br /> Dim though thy memory. <br /> <br />Love stays a summer night, <br /> Till lights of morning come; <br />Then takes her winged flight <br /> Back to her starry home.<br /><br />Ernest Christopher Dowson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-moon-maiden-s-song/
