Only for evermore the morning lutes

Of loneliness and most unhappy love.

For once, in times I know not of, you too

Have loved and sorrowed, as your heart would say,

Mourning at dusk among your golden Isles.

I cannot call on mine old gods, for they

Have lived so far from Earth, they scarce would know

The odour of my incense, nor how white

My piteous altars stand; for as the Moon

Smiles sadly disempassioned over men
