He pants aflame with irised plumes unfurled

Above the utmost pinnacle of noon.

Yet who are they who wander through the world

Like weary clouds about a wintry moon,

With wan, bewildered brows that bear eternal night?

Love, look not back, nor fill thy heart with woe

Of old, sad loves that perished long ago;

For ever after living lovers tread

Pale, yearning ghosts of all earth's lovers dead.

A little while with life we lead the train
