Lines

1.

Unfelt unheard, unseen,      I've left my little queen,

Her languid arms in silver slumber lying:      Ah! through their nestling touch,      Who -- who could tell how

There is for madness -- cruel, or complying?2.      Those faery lids how sleek!      Those lips how moist! -- they speak,

In ripest quiet, shadows of sweet sounds:      Into my fancy's ear      Melting a burden dear,

This sweetest day for dalliance was born!      So, without more ado,      I'll feel my heaven anew,

For all the blushing of the hasty morn.'These lines stand next to 'Think not of it, sweet one, so' in the Literary Remains (1848), and are also assigned to the year 1817.
