Within the leafy wood, the sound Of dropping rain may ring, Which, rolling from the trembling leaf, Falls on the sparrow's wing; And music round the waking flower May breathe in every star-lit bower: Yet, come away! nor stay to hear The breathings of a voice Whose subtle tones awake a thrill To make thee to rejoice, And vibrate on the listening ear, Too deep, too earnest, ah, too deer.
