It never through my mind had past 5

That time would e’er be o’er,

And I on thee should look my last,

And thou should’st smile no more!

And still upon that face I look,

And think ’twill smile again; 10

And still the thought I will not brook

That I must look in vain.

But when I speak thou dost not say,

What thou ne’er left’st unsaid;
