Our lives but touched an instant, and a spark

Blazed the whole heavens for me: and then the dark

Shut down on me,

While onward, happily and heedlessly,

You took your way; and left me here alone

In midnight deeper than I’d ever known.

You go your way; and other lives to fire

Of momentary raptures of desire

Strike, as you go:

And naught, O happy traveller, you know,

While fresh flames ever blaze your way with light,

Of those you leave behind in deeper night.
