My Loved One

MY loved one appears
   In a vision by night,
The loveliest jewel
   Ever gladdened the sight;
With her pensive blue eyes,
   And her forehead, downcast,
She comes to relieve
   My racked bosom at last:
Anon upon Love’s
   Golden pinions I fly,
And my arms are outstretched
   To encompass my joy;
But ere she’s embraced,
   I awake—and awake,
My heart the day long—
   Oh my heart’s like to break!
