Vi

Listen in the reader

Large-eyed, Siren-like she stands, In the lake or on its sands, And with rapture from the hands Of the Night some stars are shaken; To her song the rushes swing, Lilies nod and ripples ring, Lost in helpless listening-- These will wake that hear her sing, But one mortal will not waken.
