Comes brightenedblushing with the shame-faced pride
Of love that now consummated supplies

When the birds sang sweet on either hand
About the middle of the May.

Thy name's mysterious power
Shall dwell in undisturbed repose,

Because my child you never knew.

And thirsted for his blood;

Love still has something of the sea,
From whence his Mother rose;
No time his slaves from doubt can free,
Nor give their thoughts repose.
