A patchbox; a stray match—that's all,

All but a few small treasured scraps

Of paper; things forbid perhaps—

See how slowly Ann unties

The packet where her heartache lies;

Watch her lips move; she slants a letter

Up towards the moon to read it better,

(The moon may master what he can).

R stands for Richard, A for Ann

And L ... at this the old moon blinks
