I + 

There is no peace beneath the noon⁠— + 

Ah! in those meadows is there peace + 

Where, girdled with a silver fleece, + 

As a bright shepherd, strays the moon? + 

Queen of the gardens of the sky, + 

Where stars like lilies, white and fair, + 

Shine through the mists of frosty air, + 

Oh, tarry, for the dawn is nigh! + 

Oh, tarry, for the envious day + 

Stretches long hands to catch thy feet. + 

Alas! but thou art overfleet, + 

Alas! I know thou wilt not stay. + 
