Flee thither, where a rough, strong breeze bloweth! And when I bade the dream Upon thy spirit flee, Thy violet eyes to me Upturned, did overflowing seem With the deep, untold delight Of Love's serenity; Thy classic brow, like lilies white And pale as the Imperial Night Upon her throne, with stars bedight, Enthralled my soul to thee! Many people of rank and wealth were either thrown into prison or compelled to flee for their lives. |
