Love wakes and weeps

Love wakes and weeps
While Beauty sleeps ;
Oh! for music's softest numbers
To prompt a theme
For Beauty's dream,
Soft as the [pillow]1 of her slumbers!
Through groves of [palm]2
Sigh gales of balm ;
Fire-flies on the air are wheeling ;
While through the gloom
Comes soft perfume,
The distant beds of [flowers]3 revealing.
Oh! wake and live!
No dreams can give
A shadowed bliss the real excelling ;
No longer sleep
From lattice peep,
And list the tale that love is telling!
