Song of Songs

My heart is like a shady grove
That harbors, for a June,
My thoughts, like song-birds mad with love
Under the moon.

On all the windy boughs they sit
And in the blowing grass —
But one bird silently enters it,
And sings, alas!

Then all the rest grow sad and still
That made a happy noise:
There is no sound on all the hill
But that one voice,

Faint with the memories in his breast —
It is the thought of you —
And when it ceases, all the rest
Are silent, too.
