Contents
Nocturne, op. 60. On a poet's lips I slept ; Below the thunders of the upper deep ; Encinctur'd with a twine of leaves ; Midnight's bell goes ting, ting, ting ; But that night ; She sleeps on soft, last breaths ; What is more gentle than a wind in summer? ; When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see.
