559 Music and Memory

ENCHANTRESS, touch no more that strain!

I know not what it may contain,

But in my breast such mood it wakes

My very spirit almost breaks.

Thoughts come from out some hidden realm

Whose dim memorials overwhelm,

Still bring not back the things I lost,—

Still bringing all the pain they cost.
