And oft when the moon, like a palace Of witchcraft, shines white overhead, Making pearl of the foam of the torrent, She wakes her wild harp in the valleys Where the blossoms have built her a bed: She sits where a fountain of flowers Rains fragrance from branches around, The blossomed lianas around, Keeping time with their petal-sweet showers To her harp; with its strain interwound; Unfolding, it seems, to the sound: While her song is as redolence round her, And their fragrance as music, it seems, Whose touch and enchantment have bound her With shadows and whispers of dreams, And she seems but a part of her dreams, A creature created of dreams.
