When in each other’s arms, love-wearied, we

Both nested safe in silken cushions warm

At Winter-evenfall entrancèd lie,

Kissing but closer as we list the storm,

Then pray we, midst our sweet antiphony

But this—that love like ours may never die!...


“Combien J’ai Douce Souvenance...!”

(After Chateaubriand)
