This is the garden. Time shall surely reap,

And on Death's blade lie many a flower curled,

In other lands where other songs be sung;

Yet stand They here enraptured, as among

The slow deep trees perpetual of sleep

Some silver-fingered fountain steals the world.

It may not always be so; and I say

That if your lips, which I have loved, should touch

Another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch
