There is a scent of roses and spilt wine

Between the moonlight and the laurel-coppice;

The marble idol glimmers on its shrine,

White as a star, among a heaven of poppies.

Here all my life lies like a spilth of wine.

There is a mouth of music like a lute,

A nightingale that singeth to one flower;

Between the falling flower and the fruit,

Where love hath died, the music of an hour.
