No. 11. Numerical Edith, dear, do you not recall How we stood long years ago 2, 1, the bridge, one cold, bleak all Looking at the pool below? How we watched the dry leaves sailing, 2, 3, 4, 8 its cold breast While the breeze was softly wailing, As it bore them to their rest? How you wondered, were they happy Now their life was 2, 8, 4 last? How can they 6 and 7 happy When their summer life is past? Ah! the years have fallen round me Since we stood beside the stream And I have shown the hopes that found me Then to earth were but a dream. Oh, were you and I together On that bridge, once 5, 2, 8, 4 I would give a different answer, Than I did in days of yore I would tell of summers fading— How the sun must set at night And of all the thick mists shading, Sun and summer from the sight I would tell of that deep yearning Springing from the fading years For a sun that has no turning— For a life that has no tears Yes! those little leaves that we recall, Drifting on the streamlet’s breast They were glad, that bleak and chill all— They were glad for they had rest.
