The lull of night brings you before me dressed in distant 
Land of Nod 
And within my heart beholds you growing there within the 
sod 
But eye beneath the perfumed brow. Why look to me again? 
You are seldom's sister how to tell my never's friend. 

In the quiet of hope's surrounding where you teach a 
passion song 
And bid it sing of love abounding to ev'ry hate among the 
throngs 
But mouth adorned with honeyed tongue. Why speak to me 
again? 
Your song seldom's sister sung to tell my never's friend. 

In pleasure's garden you have wandered, throbbing in the 
dust of aim 
Helping all my friends of wisdom, kindling light and 
answer rain 
But flower of certain's ancient season. Why send your 
breath again? 
You're seldom sister's reason for remaining never's 
friend.
