Of her dead loveliness,—which once it glassed,—

That might repeat again my lost romance

In momentary pictures of the past,

While in its depths her image swam in trance.

VI

I did not dream to see the soulless eyes

Of you I hated; nor the lips where lies

And kisses curled: your features,—that were tuned

To all demonic,—smiling up as might

Some deep damnation! while ... my God! I swooned!...
