The sill of Marguerite at thy command,

Where are you all? Peace to thy soul, oh child!

Profoundest peace be to thy memories!

Farewell! On summer nights thy fair white hand

Will rest no more upon the ivory keys...


Dear friends belovèd, when I die,

Plant near my grave a willow-tree.

I love its pale, down-drooping leaves

Its grace is sweet and dear to me,
