Against the deepening azure In the West,
Yon slender moon now dips her graceful horn,
In ambient beauty lovely as the morn;
And Just above, a single star, at xeh
I'pon the evening's calm and peaceful breast,
Adds Its faint, steadfast splendor to adorn
The ebon mantle by the evening worn,
Some far world in a point of light exprest.
Now trom your store of wishes, maiden, take
The one which lies the nearest to your heart,
And, gating on the star-bung crescent, max
That with, nor trom the pleasant secret part;
Nor yet because defeirecl should you forsake
The hope you've centered In this ancient art,
