Quote by George Darley

Sweet in her green dell the flower of beauty slumbers, Lull'd by the faint breezes sighing through her hair; Sleeps she and hears not the melancholy numbers Breathed to my sad lute 'mid the lonely air.

Sweet in her green dell the flower of beauty slumbers, Lull'

Summary

This quote depicts a scene of serene natural beauty where a beautiful flower peacefully sleeps in a green dell. The delicate flower is completely oblivious to the sadness and melancholy expressed by the speaker through their gentle music played on a lute. The contrast between the flower's undisturbed sleep and the speaker's melancholic state captures the theme of isolation and the disconnect between the different realms of existence: one filled with beauty and tranquility, and the other with personal sorrow.
