  I have had dreams of wild love wildly nursed,

    Of myrtles, mignonette, and silken tresses,

    Of lips, whose blames belie the kiss that blesses,

  Of dirge-like songs to dirge-like airs rehearsed.

  My dreams have paled and faded long ago,

    Faded the very form they most adored,

    Nothing is left me but what once I poured

  Into pathetic verse with feverish glow.

  Thou, orphaned song, art left. Do thou, too, fade!

    Go, seek that visioned form long lost in night,

    And say from me—if you upon it light—

  With airy breath I greet that airy shade!
