A vision? But fanciful days of yore

Brought many: mere musing seems not such.

Perhaps but a memory, after all!

—Of what came once when a woman leant

To feel for my brow where her kiss might fall.

Truth ever, truth only the excellent!

NOW

Out of your whole life give but a moment!

All of your life that has gone before,

All to come after it,—so you ignore,
