Wandering under pallid, passionate moons.

Often have I slunk through pleasured rites,

Lonely in the tumult of decay;

Often marked the hectic London nights

Flowing from the violet-lidded day.

Yet, because of you, the world has been

Kindlier. Oh, little heart-o'-rose,

I have glimpsed a beauty seldom seen

In this labyrinthine mist of woes.

Beauty smiles at me from common things,
