The pathos of our days together filled me

With a new wonder—flooding on me came

A host of memories, as to one long dead,

Lifted beyond his living; till all seemed

Marvellous and immortal and benign.

And now

The hour was come. Beside your quiet breast

I begged forgiveness for my many sins

Done to you, though unwitting—all the hurt—

In a swift prayer, and even for this last—
