Poems of Henry Timrod
Serenade

Henry Timr

Hide, happy damask, from the stars,

What sleep enfolds behind your veil,

But open to the fairy cars

On which the dreams of midnight sail;

And let the zephyrs rise and fall

About her in the curtained gloom,

And then return to tell me all

The silken secrets of the room.

Ah, dearest! may the elves that sway

Thy fancies come from emerald plots,

Where they have dozed and dreamed all day

In hearts of blue forget-me-nots.

And one perhaps shall whisper thus:

Awake! and light the darkness, Sweet!

While thou art reveling with us,

He watches in the lonely street.
