That matters much, save that it seemed I thought

I wandered dim with some one, but I knew

Not whom; most beautiful, and young, and true,

And pale through suffering: with curl-crowned brow

Soft eyes and voice, so strange, they haunt me now—

A dream, perhaps, in dreamland.

Seemed that she

Led me along a flower-showered lea

Trammeled with puckered pansy and the pea;

Where poppies spread great blood-red stain on stain,
