	Lyrics Text by poet Dante Gabrielli Rossetti: Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass, The finger-points look through like rosy blooms: Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms 'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass. All round our nest, far as the eye can pass, Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge. Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge. 'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky: So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above. Oh! Claps we to our hearts, for the deathless dower. This close-companioned inarticulate hour When twofold silenced was the song of love.
