Come back with me; but come, and I will speak

A thousand gentle words for each poor tear

That dimmed your eyes! Come back, and I will crown

Your days with love so enduring it shall light

The eternal stars to bed!

Sappho

Ask me no more,—

My Phaon, you must ask me nevermore:

Though Music pipe from Memory’s darkest pine

Her tenderest note, all time her wings are torn;
