“You are speaking, then, against your conscience,”
The poet stubborn with his passion sang us
When age might well have chilled his blood.'
Vague memories, nothing but memories,
But in the grave all, all, shall be renewed.
The certainty that I shall see that lady
In the first loveliness of womanhood,
And with the fervour of my youthful eyes,
Has set me muttering like a fool.
