And yet, vouchsafe a moment! I would gaze

Once more into those sweetly-murderous eyes,

Soft glimmering athwart the pearly haze

That smites to dusk the skies!

Hast thou no pity? Must I darkly tread

The unknown paths that lead me wide from thee?

Hast though no garland for this aching head

That soon so low must be?

No sound? No sigh? No smile? Is all forgot?
