(Old French)Memories long in music sleeping, No more sleeping, No more dumb;
Delicate phantoms softly creeping Softly back from the old-world come.
Faintest odours around them straying, Suddenly straying In chambers dim;
Whispering silks in order swaying, Glimmering gems on shoulders slim:
Courage advancing strong and tender, Grace untender Fanning desire;
Suppliant conquest, proud surrender, Courtesy cold of hearts on fire---Willowy billowy now they're bending, Low they're bending Down-dropt eyes;
Stately measure and stately ending, Music sobbing, and a dream that dies.
