A description of the experience
THE NIGHTINGALE
The garden-house lay deep-embowered
In leafy arbours dewy-wet,
And round it everywhere were set
Pomegranates fully-flowered :
Their crimson glory glittered through
The fresh green curtains of bamboo.
No friend had come ; the hush was deep,
And I, when even noon had fled,
Upon the table bowed my head
And softly fell asleep.
Awhile I dozed, but not for long ;
My spirit in her dreaming stirred,
And even while I woke I heard
Twice or thrice, a nightingale,
A nightingale in song !
