There's something quieter than sleep
Within this inner room!
It wears a sprig upon its breast
And will not tell its name
Some touch it, and some kiss it
Some chafe its idle hand
It has a simple gravity
I do not understand!
I would not weep if I were they
How rude in one to sob!
Might scare the quiet fairy
Back to her native wood!
While simple-hearted neighbors
Chat of the "Early dead"
We—prone to periphrasis
Remark that Birds have fled!
There's something quieter than sleep
Within this inner room!
It wears a sprig upon its breast
And will not tell its name
Some touch it, and some kiss it
Some chafe its idle hand
It has a simple gravity
I do not understand!
I would not weep if I were they
How rude in one to sob!
Might scare the quiet fairy
Back to her native wood!
While simple-hearted neighbors
Chat of the "Early dead"
We—prone to periphrasis
Remark that Birds have fled!
