Nothing can be as it has been before;

Better, so call it, only not the same.

To draw one beauty into our hearts' core,

And keep it changeless! such our claim;

So answered,—Nevermore!

Simple? Why this is the old woe o' the world;

Tune, to whose rise and fall we live and die.

Rise with it, then! Rejoice that man is hurled

From change to change unceasingly,

His soul's wings never furled!
