While we are in the calm and proud procession of eternal things.

Overhung with starry tears.

But love itself that flies as a white-winged star.

Upon the lonely road a child limps by
Skirting the frozen pools: our way is lost:
Our hearts sink utterly.

She drew me softly nigh her chair,
My head upon her knees to lay,
With cool hands that caressed my hair.
