Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ...)ashed from his fingers the cup! how have quaffed? BEWITCHING SLEEP. Bewitching sleep! come, take me by the hand And lead me out of darkness into dreams, Where I am free, as speckled trout in streams (lushing blue, lucid, over yellow sand From peaks where, all year round, the snow smiles bland At Sol's behest to march before his beams, Like a sad race, made captive.
