Elanore.

Topics: classic

I.         The forest flowers are faded all,         The winds complain, the snow-flakes fall,                      Elanore!         I turn to thee, as to a bower: -         Thou breathest beauty like a flower,         Thou smilest like a happy hour,                      Elanore!     II.         I turn to thee. I bless afar         Thy name, which is my guiding-star,                      Elanore!         And yet, ah God! when thou art here         I faint, I hold my breath for fear.         Art thou some phantom wandering near,                      Elanore?     III.         Oh, take me to thy bosom fair;         Oh, cover me with thy golden hair,                      Elanore!         There let me lie when I am dead,         Those morning beams about me spread,         The glory of thy face o'erhead,                      Elanore!
