WITH A WATCH-CASE.
PLACE this slipper in thy chamber,
Broidered with a silken thread;
When at night thou wak'st from slumber,
Have it, dearest, near thy bed.
From a fairy it was taken,
Dancing on the lakelet shore;
Happy dreams may it awaken,
Dreams thou hast never dreamt before.
Broidered with a silken thread;
When at night thou wak'st from slumber,
Have it, dearest, near thy bed.
From a fairy it was taken,
Dancing on the lakelet shore;
Happy dreams may it awaken,
Dreams thou hast never dreamt before.
When the evening lamp is lighted,
Do not sit and sigh, "Ah me!"
Smile and plead for one benighted,
Who now sends this gift to thee;
When the golden burden presses,
When the watch it does enfold,
Send thy spirit with caresses,
For the thoughts o'er it untold.
Do not sit and sigh, "Ah me!"
Smile and plead for one benighted,
Who now sends this gift to thee;
When the golden burden presses,
When the watch it does enfold,
Send thy spirit with caresses,
For the thoughts o'er it untold.
