SONG, FR. A VISION OF GIORGIONE: FELICE'S SONG by GORDON BOTTOMLEY

First Line: YOU KNOW, AND NONE IN THE WORLD BESIDE
Last Line: SWIFTLY THE GOLDEN LEAF.

YOU know, and none in the world beside,
Of a song in the leafy night,
And a moon-girl slim at her lattice wide
Who leaned to her delight.
One burden had I, lulling lowly
To wake you yester-eve --
Flower and golden fruit come slowly,
Swiftly the golden leaf.
