XIII


Sleep thou in the bosom
  1
Of the tender comrade,
While the living water
Whispers in the well-run,
And the oleanders
Glimmer in the moonlight.

Soon, ah, soon the shy birds
  7
Will be at their fluting,
And the morning planet
Rise above the garden;
For there is a measure
Set to all things mortal.
