The Fair Thief

THE rogue, she smiled, then swept away,
   Her raven locks behind her streaming;
My very pulse forgot to play,
   And I was left in wonder dreaming.
 
The Pleiads lost their charms that night
   And Dian lost her bow and quiver;
They’d with the damsel taken flight,
   And never have been found since—never!
