| | I WHEN my dream-robe is tattered, | |
| If ever it is so, | |
| And one may seem to scorn it, | |
| Oh, I shall let him know | |
| That it was torn on points of stars | 5 |
| And gold of the rainbow! | |
| |
II When I am dead, oh, speak to me | |
| No words that I have heard, | |
| Lest to my peace come misery, | |
| Lest my calm sleep be stirred | 10 |
| With want of mortal love again! | |
| But bring a drop of April rain, | |
| The dawn-song of a bird, | |
| The leafy lyric of a tree, | |
| A slender flower with its dew— | 15 |
| That I may dream, and seem to be | |
| Dead to all but you! | | | | |
