Leonainie - Angels Named Her; And They Took The Light Of The Laughing Stars And Framed Her In A Smile Of White; And They Made Her Hair Of Gloomy Midnight, And Her Eyes Of Bloomy Moonshine, And They Brought Her To Me In The Solemn Night. - - In A Solemn Night Of Summer, When My Heart Of Gloom Blossomed Up To Greet The Comer Like A Rose In Bloom; All Forebodings That Distressed Me I Forgot As Joy Caressed Me - (Lying Joy! That Caught And Pressed Me In The Arms Of Doom!) Only Spake The Little Lisper In The Angel-Tongue; Yet I, Listening, Heard Her Whisper - "Songs Are Only Sung Here Below That They May Grieve You - Tales But Told You To Deceive You, - So Must Leonainie Leave You While Her Love Is Young." Then God Smiled And It Was Morning. Matchless And Supreme Heaven'S Glory Seemed Adorning Earth With Its Esteem: Every Heart But Mine Seemed Gifted With The Voice Of Prayer, And Lifted Where My Leonainie Drifted From Me Like A Dream.
