As our love then, in its oneness,

All its dead past did retrace,

And from that sad moment took

Presage of approaching parting.—

Sorrowful the hour and dark:

Low among the trees, now darting,

Now concealed, a lamp's pale spark—

Like a fen-fire—winked and lured

Shut among the shadows, where

All was doubtful, unassured,
