If Thou survive my well-contented day
When that churl Death my bones with dust shall cover,
And shalt by fortune once more re-survey
These poor rude lines of thy deceased lover:
Compare them with the
bettering
of the time,
And though they be outstripp'd by every pen,
Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme
Exceeded by the height of happier men.

And, with his crumpled foliage stiff and dry,
After the first betrayal of the frost,
Rebuffs the kiss of the

The chestnuts, lavish of their long-hid gold,
To the faint Summer, beggared now and old,
Pour back the sunshine hoarded 'neath her favoring eye.

of heart
To him who still would look upon
The glory of the summer sun.

Thus I pacified Psyche and kissed her,
And tempted her out of her gloom--
And
conquered
her scruples and gloom;
And we passed to the end of the vista--
But were stopped by the door of a tomb--
By the door of a legended tomb:--
And I said--"What is written, sweet sister,
On the door of this legended tomb?

There was a day when they were young and proud,
Banners on high, and battles passed below;
But they who fought are in a bloody shroud,
And those which waved are
shredless
dust ere now,
And the bleak battlements shall bear no future blow.

Quickened
his step, and why
He looked upon the garish day
With such a wistful eye;
The man had killed the thing he loved,
And so he had to die.

earnestly

Old forgotten ecstasies and splendors Ebbed from out my heart forevermore.
