Seite 634 - BEATING heart ! we come again Where my Love reposes : This is Mabel's window-pane ; These are Mabel's roses. Is she nested ? Does she kneel In the twilight stilly ; Lily clad from throat to heel, She, my virgin lily ? Soon the wan, the wistful stars, Fading, will forsake her ; Elves of light, on beamy bars, Whisper then, and wake her. Let this friendly pebble plead At her flowery grating. If she hear me will she heed ? Mabel, I am waiting. Mabel will be deck'd...
