At last unchanged, and to the heart that yearns

Shall be repaid all loneliness and loss.

Sometime with shadowy sails shall fly across

The shoreless ocean of infinity

A ship from out the past, and the great sea

Of life shall bear you from the strange worlds over

The waves, and back again to the old lover.

Yes, in some future far beyond surmise

You will dream here with half-remembering eyes,

And I shall write these words, content awhile
