The last time I beheld her comely eyes That are as halcyon as a millpond, Thrice brighter than colliding galaxies That proudly waltz upon heaven's compound, Girthed I by a bizarre brume of dismay. The same that once saw me as a lover, Scowled as of a knight at his enemy, Clouded with despair as wilted Stover, Thus as tumbles a withered leaf to ground, So dropped I unto my quivering knees, Whispered a serenade in a soft sound Fairer than of a zephyr to wild trees,
But she dimmed her novelty shine away, Never to beam upon me since yon day.
