 :And ever as the summer comes the mystic queen,
 * Forbidden ever to return as comet to the sky,
 * Steals silently from out the west, at rising of the sun,
 * To look upon her lover’s mantled form
 * And meditate, alone, that sweet, sad morn
 * When first they met; and still the hag, hell born,
 * Pursues and draws obscuring veil o’er each; to realms unknown
 * They thus return. The tale is true, for even mortal eye,
 * When blessed of sight, may yet behold that very scene."
