The Maiden caught me in the Wild,
Where I was dancing merrily ;
She put me into her Cabinet,
And Lock'd me up with a golden Key.

this Cabinet is formed of Gold
And Pearl and Crystal shining bright,
and within it opens into a World
And a little lovely Moony Night.

Another England there I saw,
Another London with its Tower,
Another Thames and over Hills,
And another pleasant Surrey Bower,

Another Maiden like herself,
Translucent, lovely, shining clear,
Threefold each in the other clos'd -
O what a pleasant trembling fear !

O what a smile ! A threefold Smile
Fill'd me, that like a flame I burn'd ;
I bent to kiss the lovely Maid,
And found a threefol Kiss return'd.
