And moon-track of the journeying face of Fate,

Her tremulous kisses faltered at love's

And her eyes dreamed against a distant goal:

But soon, remembering her how brief the

Of joy, which its own hours annihilate,

Her set gaze gathered, thirstier than of late,

And as she kissed, her mouth became her soul.

Thence in what ways we wandered, and how

To build with fire-tried vows the piteous

Which memory haunts and whither sleep may roam,—They only know for whom the roof of

Is the still-seated secret of the grove,

Nor spire may rise nor bell be heard therefrom.
