First Line: As in some cavern dark and deep
Last Line: And, sighing, sleeps again.
Subject(s): Soul; Self
AS in some cavern dark and deep,
My soul within me here lies low,
Where, veiled, she dreams in wondrous sleep
Of things I may not know.
And if perchance she wake awhile,
I probe her radiant eyes in vain:
She turns from me with misty smile
And, sighing, sleeps again.
