It seems Lorenzo's soul crept back to earth

Re-seeking Joy he coveted in life,

Seeking the happiness he never found.

Yet, was his labour lost? Did he not find?

He sang one song which lingers in men's hearts

And, having sung, he surely solved his quest.

Who of Joy's seekers finds the flower itself,

And plucking, knows the snow-white from the red?

Not I, for I've been truant in my search;

I've pluck't the mauve of Honour and the green
