Lean Out of the Window

Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair,
I hear you singing
A merry air.
 
My book was closed,
I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
On the floor.
 
I have left my book,
I have left my room,
For I heard you singing
Through the gloom.
 
Singing and singing
A merry air,
Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair.

Have you heard of one Humpty Dumpty How he fell with a roll and a rumble And curled up like Lord Olofa Crumple By the butt of the Magazine Wall, (Chorus) Of the Magazine Wall,

Simples

O bella bionda, Sei come l’onda! Of cool sweet dew and radiance mild The moon a web of silence weaves In the still garden where a child

Though I Thy Mithridates Were

Though I thy Mithridates were, Framed to defy the poison—dart, Yet must thou fold me unaware To know the rapture of thy heart, And I but render and confess

O Sweetheart, Hear You

Strings in the Earth and Air

Strings in the earth and air Make music sweet; Strings by the river where The willows meet. There’s music along the river

My Love Is in a Light Attire

My love is in a light attire Among the apple—trees, Where the gay winds do most desire To run in companies. There, where the gay winds stay to woo

At That Hour

At that hour when all things have repose… O lonely watcher of the skies, Do you hear the night wind and the sighs Of harps playing unto Love to unclose The pale gates of sunrise?

Bahnhofstrasse

The eyes that mock me sign the way Whereto I pass at eve of day. Grey way whose violet signals are The trysting and the twining star. Ah star of evil! star of pain!
