济慈诗选/"白天消逝了，甜蜜的一切已失去！"

Sweet voice, sweet lips, soft hand, and softer breast,

Warm breath, light whisper, tender semi-tone,

Bright eyes, accomplished shape, and languorous waist!

Faded the flower and all its budded charms,

Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes,

Faded the shape of beauty from my arms,

Faded the voice, warmth, whiteness, paradise—

Vanished unseasonably at shut of eve,

When the dusk holiday, or holinight,

Of fragrant-curtained love begins to weave

The woof of darkness thick, for hid delight;

But, as I've read love's missal through today,

He'll let me sleep, seeing I fast and pray.
