Weep not, as heavy-hearted Before I go! lest thou Shouldst follow as we parted.-- Come, gaze at me glad-hearted! Not with sweet lips distorted With fear; and eyes tear-smarted!-- Let me remember how Thy face looks when thou smilest And with soft words beguilest My soul.--From feet to brow, Come, strengthen thy strong lover To breast the waves that cover Deep caves where sea-nymphs hover, Eager to seize him now.
