Fill well my soul for what it missed of yore,

Enrich me ever with your flowery lore!

I can recall no more the northern nights!

I know when on my mouth is set your mouth

The sensuous, sweet savors of the South.

There was a little garden that I knew

Far, far to north—where still my childhood stays—

The garden of my girlhood, of its Mays,

Where frail and strange, unreal, dream-flowers grew.
