PERPLEXITY by LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA

First Line: AS IN SOME CAVERN DARK AND DEEP
Last Line: AND, SIGHING, SLEEPS AGAIN.
Subject(s): SOUL; SELF;
AS in some cavern dark and deep,
My soul within me here lies low,
Where, veiled, she dreams in wondrous sleep
Of things I may not know.

And if perchance she wake awhile,
I probe her radiant eyes in vain:
She turns from me with misty smile
And, sighing, sleeps again.
