| + | {{Style P-Poem|poem=Nought on earth seemed half so fair, |

| + | A bright rainbow for a staircase, |
| + | |
| + | The foundation—clearest air. |

| + | Lilies filled with oil of amber, |
| + | |
| + | Shed abroad a mystic ray; |
| + | |
| + | Balmy summer ne’er departed, |
| + | |
| + | Nor soft music died away. |
| + | |
| + | The tall pillars were great palm trees, |
| + | |
| + | And each palm of shining gold; |
| + | |
| + | Lightly fell the perfumed waters |
| + | |
| + | From bright fountains clear and cold. |
| + | |
| + | Brilliant birds fled to the castle, |
| + | |
| + | All attracted by its light; |
| + | |
| + | Revelled on the yellow fruitage, |
| + | |
| + | Sang throughout the starlit night. |
| + | |
| + | The fair walls were made of rose leaves, |
| + | |
| + | Pure and white as Alpine snow, |
| + | |
| + | And my love dwelt in that castle— |
| + | |
| + | That was all I cared to know. |
| + | |
| + | One sad evening while I lingered, |
| + | |
| + | Lost in visions sweet and fair, |
| + | |
| + | Then behold! it swiftly vanished, |
| + | |
| + | Passed away in lightest air.}} |
