An d yet when some o n e sings me worthily
The tears well up i n alie n eyes an d fall
While hearts beat fast an d all because o f me
I am a little ghost a nd hau nt the brain
O f youth with hope o f age w i th memories :
The wor l d forgotten is wh i le my refrain
Transports them t o E lys i an F ie l ds an d seas
F orever li ghted by a l o v er s moon ;
Where all the air breathes rose an d eglant i ne
An d music o e rs me her sweetest boon
T o len d enchantment t o these words o f m ine
