Moaned round their eaves. And in more happy days

By some pale silver summer moon, when dim

The waters were—mysterious eves of dusk,

And music, stars, and silence, when the sea

Sighs languorously as a god in sleep—

Singing into my saddened heart should come

White thoughts, to bloom in words as roses break

And blow and wither and are gone; and we,

Reckless of time, should waken not and find

Our hearts grown old, but evermore live on
