Look on this lay I dedicate to thee,

Which through thee I began, which thus I end,

Collecting the last gleams to strive to tell

How I am thine, and more than ever now

That I sink fast: yet though I deeplier sink,

No less song proves one word has brought me bliss,

Another still may win bliss surely back.

Thou knowest, dear, I could not think all calm,

For fancies followed thought and bore me off,

And left all indistinct; ere one was caught
